The Olympic Team Austria presents itself in polar bear

At the Patscherkofel mountain station, high above Innsbruck, a special moment was celebrated 101 days before the opening of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games: The Olympic and Paralympic Team Austria presented its new collection – and Eisbär was there once again as the official headwear supplier.

Between snowfall and sunbeams, the mountain station was transformed into an alpine catwalk where Austria's top athletes—including Anna Gasser, Janine Flock, Arvid Auner, Lisa Hauser, Markus Salcher, and Alessandro Hämmerle—appeared in their new outfits for the first time. The impressive backdrop, the joint appearance of Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and the visible sense of togetherness made the presentation a powerful symbol of unity and lived inclusion.

Made in Austria – for the greatest moments of winter

Eisbär completes the official team outfit with a new collection developed specifically for Milano Cortina 2026. From functional headbands and classic wool beanies to modern tubes – the accessories were developed in collaboration with Janine Flock and coordinated with the overall look of the red-white-red appearance.

“Our new collection is 100 percent coordinated with Team Austria – functional, stylish, made in Austria. We are thrilled to be part of the Olympic journey once again,” says Eisbär Managing Director
Jürgen Nairz.

Skeleton World Cup winner and Eisbär testimonial Janine Flock, who was involved in the development process herself, adds:
“It makes a difference when you get to have a say yourself. The new beanies don’t just look great – they fit perfectly, keep you warm, and really get you excited for the Olympics.”

The starting signal for the final stretch

The collection presentation marks the beginning of the final preparations for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. For
the Olympic Team Austria, the decisive phase now begins – with maximum motivation and perfectly coordinated equipment from head to toe.

For us, this moment is a symbol of what drives us: passion for sports, closeness to the athletes, and trust in quality from Austria – made for the great moments.
