REDSTER WORLD CUP WINNER KILDE: “I ACHIEVED A CHILDHOOD DREAM!“

What a season, what a thrilling battle for the big crystal bowl! Following the World Cup season’s abrupt end we have a worthy overall winner: Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is the world’s best ski racer. Sure, there’s more important things going on in the world right now, as he stated in his post right after the season had officially wrapped: to do whatever we can to overcome the coronavirus crisis and keep people safe and healthy. Still, this title is a childhood dream come true for Aleks. He is now one of the ten big names in ski racing who have won the men’s big crystal bowl 22 times in the last 24 years – all on Atomic!

SIMEN’S BEST RACE YET, HUGO WINS BRONZE

The season has been going on for a long time, its end is unpredictable in light of the coronavirus, yet the Atomic athletes are unimpressed and in top form. Atomic superstar Simen Hegstad Krueger showed a season-best performance in the 50 km Classic mass start race at Holmenkollen near Oslo, finishing 2nd and missing the victory by a mere 0.9 seconds. And next gen Redster racer Hugo Lapalus, who had consistently been strong in the World Cup, crowned his successful season with the bronze medal in the 15 km Classic event at the U23 World Championships. Redster Nordic Combined athlete Fabian Rießle secured place 2 in the season’s last race, landing in 5th position in the overall World Cup.

“MR. SUPER-G” MAURO, ALEKS READY FOR FINAL SHOWDOWN

The final stages of the 2019-20 World Cup season are in full swing and they are not for the faint-hearted. One guy definitely had nerves of steel all winter long: Mauro Caviezel. With top 5 results in all Super-G races this winter, he had the consistency it takes to bring home his first crystal globe. While Mauro benefitted from the cancellation of the season’s last Super-G in Kvitfjell, World Cup leader Aleksander Aamodt Kilde surely would have preferred to race on Sunday in front of his home crowd. Thanks to his strong 2nd place in Saturday’s downhill he regained the lead in the overall by 54 points over Alexis Pinturault. In the last two races in Kranjska Gora, however, he will realistically only be able to score in the GS. So things are very tense up until the last race. The standings in the overall as well as the Slalom World Cup are secondary for Mikaela Shiffrin, who wants to step into the start gate again in Åre after her dad had passed away unexpectedly: “I just hope to make a few good turns. I think that would make my dad happy.”

ALEKSANDER KILDE: “SHIT HAPPENS” – NOW IT’S TIME TO SPEED UP

The World Cup’s final stages are an action drama. In the Super-G of Hinterstoder Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who came into the race as World Cup leader, had a big lead on the top, and it looked like he would increase his points double or even triple-digit – until he got jammed up and DNF. What a bummer! Zero points in his favorite discipline, in this critical phase of the season. “Shit happens,” he said in his post after the race, and the Redster star immediately got back on track with places 3 and 6 in the Super Combined and the GS. Whatever races will still take place in light of the continued spread of the coronavirus – Aleksander will gun it.

SIMEN ON WORLD CUP HOME STRETCH, ANSGAR JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPION

Atomic’s team strategy of just a few but the right athletes for optimum race support is as straight as it is successful – the opening of the Junior and U23 Cross Country World Championships in Oberwiesenthal proved it again: Atomic athlete Johanna Hagström took silver in the U23 Sprint event, and Norway’s Redster millennial Ansgar Evensen is Junior Sprint world champion 2020. “We’ve supported him since he was a little kid,“ says Nordic Team Manager Peter Landl. Ansgar’s goal? To be part of team Norway at next year’s Nordic World Championships in Oberstdorf – alongside Redster superstar Simen Hegstad Krueger, who achieved his career-best 15 km interval start Classic result in Lahti this past weekend. He’s still in the race for 3rd position in the overall World Cup, and in the Long Distance ranking he fights for 2nd place. Tiril Udnes Weng demonstrated her good form in Lahti too: Relay triumph with team Norway and place 12 in the 10 km race.

ALEKSANDER STILL “MAN IN RED“, ATOMIC HAS A NEW CHAMPION: FILIP

Redster star Aleksander Aamodt Kilde returns from Japan as the old and new “Man in Red” in the World Cup: bravely standing up against his two main contenders in the overall title chase, he raced to 6th place in the GS. While Henrik Kristofferson could close the gap by no more than 5 points (currently 74 points behind), Aleksander was able to extend his lead over Alexis Pinturault to a total of 124 points. It’s a great position ahead of the races in Hinterstoder, where Kilde celebrated his first Super-G victory in 2016. Talking about victories … Atomic is proud to have a new winner in their ranks: Filip Zubcic. And even though the female top athletes Mikaela Shiffrin and Sofia Goggia were missing in Crans Montana, the Redster ladies showed a strong team performance, adding two 3rd places to the weekend’s excellent track record.

The Cross Country World Cup season has been going on for a while, and the Atomic athletes are still on the right track with their Redster setup.

BAM! GAME CHANGER ALEKSANDER TAKES POLE POSITION IN THE WORLD CUP

“What a feeling!! First win this season“ said Aleksander Aamodt Kilde’s happy post following the Redster double Super-G triumph in Saalbach (with Atomic buddy Mauro Caviezel in 2nd). He had to wait until mid-February for his first victory of the season, yet Aleksander is the one dictating the pace in the World Cup’s final stages: ahead of the technical races in Japan, he’s leading the overall title chase by 79 points over Henrik Kristoffersen and 100 points over Alexis Pinturault. It’s a promising pole position: his contenders can only score unhindered in the three remaining Slaloms, while in all other races (five speed events, four Giant Slaloms, one Combination) Redster ace Kilde will be able to continue what he’s been doing all season long: collect points in a tactically clever way …

There’s no better way to confirm a team strategy than through race results: in the 30 km skiathlon in Oberstdorf all but one Redster athletes made it into the top 30 – on a very selective course and in a race that’s considered a world championship rehearsal. Simen Hegstad Krueger grabbed his next World Cup podium with a 2nd place, inspiring his teammates to show strong performances too. In Oberstdorf Atomic combined athlete Franz-Josef Rehrl reached the podium for the first time in this so-so winter. Redster biathlete Simon Eder continued his upward trend, finishing 8th in the mass start (his season’s best) and landing in 3rd with Lisa Hauser in the single-mixed relay race.

It’s a winter without major events, but definitely not a season short of highlights. Just in time for the perceived season’s climax the Redster stars step up their game. In the speed triple of Bansko Mikaela Shiffrin, who had not yet won a race in 2020, is back on top. Winning both the first downhill and the super-G, and coming in 4th in the second downhill, she extended her overall lead to an impressive 370 points. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is also still in the race for the big title with places 2 and 9 in the Kitzbühel super-G and downhill. And in slalom things are going better than ever: with his 2nd place Marco Schwarz missed his first post-comeback victory by only 0.12 seconds, while Lucas Braathen’s first-run lead and 4th-place finish were nothing but sensational.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT SKI BOOT SIZE

When you buy ski boots, you lay the foundation of a great skiing experience. The right ski boot should fit comfortably, providing a firm hold to the foot while reliably transmitting power and steering impulses from the skier to the ski. The wrong boot can spoil the fun of skiing. It gives the ski a „life of its own“ and causes pressure points and often enough results in cold feet. This is as important for beginners as it is for advanced skiers and experts. Quite frankly, putting some extra thought in choosing the right ski boot is worth the effort!

FRANZ-JOSEF, MANUEL, FABIAN – THE NORDIC REDSTERS COMBINED

It doesn’t matter which course or what conditions, wherever the World Cup stops, there’s always a constant factor in the Nordic Combined and that’s the strong performance of Redster combined with Franz-Josef Rehrl, Manuel Faisst and Fabian Riessle. The cool Atomic trio started with chances of a medal in Klingenthal (GER) and just like the rest of this winter season, they were in strong shape: Fabian sixth and third, Franz-Josef fifth and sixth, Manual ninth and seventh.

ROCK´N´REDSTER! 1.21 SECOND LEAD AT THE MARCEL SHOW IN SCHLADMING

“Just wait until everything goes according to plan again!” It’s rare for Marcel to make a threat, but just before Schladming that’s exactly what he did. The classic Slalom races in Wengen and Kitzbühel, where he had to work unusually hard to earn his third and second place aroused the ski maniac in Marcel again. In his last training run before the night race, on his home snow in Annaberg, the hero of all-time skiing changed his setup by a few millimeters. A change so minor that no normal skier would notice this difference. Marcel said, “For me it makes a world of difference”.

Great sporting events in Garmisch! Despite “hot competition” from the racing in Kitzbühel, this weekend it was the Atomic speed ladies who delivered the magic and emotional moments. 42 years after the Atomic skier of the century, Annemarie Moser-Pröll won the Downhill here, Stephanie Venier, the Redster race lady, broke the spell on the Austrians here in Garmisch and won again.

Every weekend the World Championship season is increasing speed and dynamics. The classic races are the backdrop to fight for World Championship places, and also for the constant, regular showdowns of the best Slalom and Giant Slalom skiers in the world.
