Even before the start of the World Cup in Sölden there was a real bang. Lucas Braathen surprisingly announced the end of his career on Friday. At the age of just 23, the Norwegian hung up his skis. The winner of the small slalom crystal ball explained his motives in a monologue lasting almost 20 minutes and also shot sharply at the Norwegian association. The reason for this was the conflict over the marketing rights to the athletes that had been simmering for years. Although Braathen assured that he did not resign in protest, questions remain unanswered. | To the report
