The class is out of the question and everyone is already realizing it, starting from teammates not only of technical specialties, but also old marpions like the descent world champion Kjetil Jansrud, who has trained with him in the last days at Kvitfjell. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen is the new jewel of Norway, a 2000 class (he will turn 19 on 19 April) that dominated the European Cup season among the wide doors, collecting 560 of his 592 points overall on the overall circuit of the continental circuit (ended in 4th place) only in giant slalom, where he did not graduate world champion on the snows of Val di Fassa only for a sensational exit in the second run of the world championship. Previously, Braathen had already won a combined bronze and super-g silver, but above all he had already made his debut in the World Cup by scoring points in his first overall race (26th in the Val d'Isere giant, exiting then in the 1st round of the next four races in the maximum circuit, between Alta Badia, Saalbach, Adelboden and Kranjska Gora). The news of these days is the choice of the new material for his competitive future, with the talent of Brazilian origins that left Fischer to enter the Atomic house. And from what emerges in the environments of home Norway, is ready to enter the permanent World Cup team, not only to dispute the giants of the 2019/2020 season for which it has the fixed place guaranteed.
