Rebels

The HEAD World Cup Rebels caused a sensation at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina, where they won seven of the twelve individual Gold medals - in all four speed discipline events, in both Giant Slaloms and in the men's Parallel event. The HEAD team also produced three double World Champions: Lara Gut-Behrami, Mathieu Faivre and Vincent Kriechmayr. A total of twelve medals went to the best ski brand at the World Championships.

The HEAD World Cup Rebels continue to cause a sensation at the World Championships in Cortina: The HEAD team won all four Gold medals in the speed disciplines, a Gold in the Parallel event and both Gold medals in the Giant Slalom with Lara Gut-Behrami and Mathieu Faivre. That puts the two HEAD team stars in the footsteps of one of the greatest ski athletes of all time:  Ted Ligety - aka Mr Giant Slalom - who crossed the finishing line in his unique career during the World Championships.

In 2017 Mathieu Faivre won Gold in the Team event at the World Championships in St. Moritz. In Cortina the French athlete celebrated his first individual Gold medal in the Parallel Slalom on Tuesday, the début appearance of this format at a World Championship. His compatriot Alexis Pinturault won his second medal in Cortina by following up Bronze in the Super-G with Silver in the Combined event on Monday. In the Team event on Wednesday, Norway bagged Gold with HEAD World Cup Rebel Fabian Wilkens Solheim.

The HEAD World Cup Rebels dominate the speed events at the World Championships in Cortina. Gold medals in the Super-G by Lara Gut-Behrami and Vincent Kriechmayr are followed by two more Golds in the Downhill competitions. Vincent Kriechmayr is king of the speed events in the World Cup, bagging his second victory in Cortina on Sunday in the Downhill. The fastest women athlete in Cortina is Corinne Suter, winning her first Gold medal at a World Championship on Saturday in the Downhill and Silver in the Super-G.

World Championship Gold. Finishing just behind the Swiss athlete, her compatriot and HEAD team-mate Corinne Suter secured Silver. A few hours later Vincent Kriechmayr followed up with Gold in the men's Super-G. Bronze went to Alexis Pinturault.

The last two races before the World Championships in Cortina were held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen this weekend. Austria's speed rebels Vincent Kriechmayr and Matthias Mayer sealed a HEAD double victory in the Super-G on Saturday. In the Downhill on Friday, two HEAD World Cup Rebels also raced to podium finishes with Beat Feuz in second place and Matthias Mayer third.

An impressive result for the HEAD World Cup Rebels in the first Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday. The third consecutive victory for Lara Gut-Behrami in this discipline, leading her HEAD colleagues Kajsa Vickhoff Lie from Norway and Marie-Michele Gagnon from Canada. In the second Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which was postponed until Monday, Lara Gut-Behrami immediately followed up with yet another win.

Yet another headliner performance by Lara Gut-Behrami! The HEAD athlete finished second in the Giant Slalom in Kronplatz, finishing among the top three in three different disciplines within four days. In the men's Night Slalom in Schladming Alexis Pinturault extended his overall lead in the World Cup finishing in third place.

The HEAD World Cup Rebels dominated the action on the Streif in Kitzbühel: In a spectacular Downhill event on Friday, the HEAD World Cup Rebels celebrated a double victory with Beat Feuz and Matthias Mayer. For Feuz it was his first victory in a Hahnenkamm Downhill in his career following four finishes in second place. That result was topped in the second Downhill race on Sunday with triple success by Beat Feuz, Johan Clarey and Matthias Mayer. And then it was Vincent Kriechmayr winning the Super-G on Monday who rounded off a flawless HEAD weekend in Kitzbühel. On top of that, Lara Gut-Behrami won the Super-G in Crans Montana on Sunday with a lead of almost one second.

Alexis Pinturault is back on the podium in the Slalom as well. Following his Giant Slalom fest in Adelboden last weekend, the French athlete finished third in the Slalom in Flachau on Sunday to bag his first podium finish in this discipline this season.
