Two more years of contract, after having already lived five seasons with the brand based in Kennelbach. Lara Gut-Behrami and Head will continue together at least until the 2021/22 vintage, the one of the Beijing Olympic Games where the Swiss champion will try to conquer some other five-circle laurel, after the insult of the medal lost for a penny at PyeongChang in super-g and the bronze conquered downhill in Sochi 2014. A combination that started out great in the 2015/16 season, immediately winning the World Cup (Lara came from the experience with Rossignol), before the injury to the World Championships in Sankt Moritz stopped the race of the Ticino champion, she seemed reborn only in the final of the last World Cup, with two downhill victories in Crans-Montana, within 24 hours. Return to the success that influenced the choice? According to Rainer Salzgeber, interviewed by the colleagues of the "Blick" who gave the news, absolutely not: "It was Lara's desire and ours, because we want to feel comfortable with our company - the words of the Head of Racing - We believe in her, beyond the season finale, because we know exactly what she can do, so our approach has never changed. " An agreement (we speak slightly downward, but with the bonuses linked to the results that can mend the gap) that Salzgeber hopes will bring "new victories in the coming winter. We are always optimistic. " And Lara will have at her side the trusted skiman, Thomas Rehm.
