Comeback fever is rampant in the skiing World Cup. Marcel Hirscher will be returning to the ring this year after a five-year break, as will Lucas Braathen – and Lindsey Vonn is also showing some signs that she wants to do it again at the age of 39. That’s exactly why Thursday’s news was exciting: Anna Veith is also returning to the skiing stage!
However, there is a small catch for the Olympic champion and world champion. Veith is not aiming for a comeback, but will partner with Austrian ski manufacturer Kästle. “In addition to developing new ski models designed specifically for women, Anna and Kästle have a common vision: They want to encourage people to live a healthier and more active lifestyle, with a particular focus on young people, ” says a press release from Kästle. .
Bring in the expertise
Two-time overall World Cup winner Anna Veith, 35, has been the face of the Head brand for years, and now she wants to bring her great ski expertise to manufacturer Kästle. Exceptional talents such as Ester Ledecka, Ilka Stuhec and Jasmine Flury are under contract there.
