Lucas Braathen returns to races for Brazil

Ever since he announced his resounding retirement last October in the run-up to the World Cup opening giant slalom in Soelden, it was known that Lucas Braathen would return to racing sooner or later. Today è came the official announcement from the 23-year-old Norwegian himself: he will return to competition next season, and he will do so with his mother’s country, Brazil.

This is news that makes happy all alpine skiing fans who did not want to lose an athlete who is still very young, very talented and also out of the box compared to a conservative and closed-in environment like alpine skiing and winter sports in general.

Now the comeback: Pinheiro, as è nicknamed the Scandinavian, è firmly intends to increase his haul of five World Cup race wins, 2 in giant slalom and 3 in slalom, and he will tryà to do so in the colors of the South American country. “Chegou a hora, Brasil. Vamos dançar”. Soì Braathen wrote on his social media today. È the time has come, Brasil. Let’s go dance.
