Olympic champion, triple World Champion, double overall World Cup winner - Anna Veith has achieved all of her great successes together with HEAD. Beyond the end of her racing career, the Austrian athlete will continue her long-standing partnership with the world's most successful ski brand at least until 2024 - as brand and sportswear ambassador, assisting in the development of new products as well as on projects with upcoming HEAD stars.

Snowboarder Cody Bramwell was also seemingly pleased with his trophy for the 3^rd place in the overall snowboard category. But let’s take it back for a moment and set the scene.

As confirmed by the FIS brand ranking - they are the best ski team in the world.

All the speed events - both the Downhill competitions on Wednesday and the Super-G races on Thursday - had to be cancelled at the final of the World Cup in Lenzerheide due to the weather conditions.
