The speed was definitely there but unfortunately our Rebels could not bring it to the finish line twice.

“In the men’s race, we were in a great position after the first run. Unfortunately, Atle Lie McGrath was then unable to finish. The conditions were not ideal for Alexander Schmid and Henrik Kristoffersen. It was very encouraging to see Anton Grammel move up from 30th to 15th place. Overall, however, the result was not what we had hoped for” Rainer Salzgeber said after the GS.

HEAD newcomer Lara Colturi misses victory by just one hundredth of a second

A successful start to the season for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels at the opening race in Sölden! HEAD newcomer Lara Colturi narrowly missed out on victory in Saturday’s giant slalom, finishing second by just one hundredth of a second. Emma Aicher claimed her first-ever giant slalom podium in third place, while five HEAD athletes finished in the top eight.

“It was an almost perfect start for us in the women’s race. When you lose the first race after changing equipment by such a narrow margin, it shows how well the whole team, and especially the serviceman, have worked. Everyone did a great job. I suspect Lara Colturi still has a little more in reserve. In that respect, it was an ideal start for her, giving her a great deal of confidence,” said HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber.

“Emma Aicher also achieved the ideal result to start the season. It was her first podium in Sölden. The important thing now is that she doesn’t let it go to her head and stays calm and focused. She wants to compete in every race, and if she finishes third in the very first race, a giant slalom, that promises to make for an exciting season. With five athletes in the top eight despite the difficult conditions in Sölden, it was certainly an excellent start for us.

By finishing second, Lara Colturi equalled her best-ever giant slalom result. In 2025, the 19-year-old, who was born in Italy and represents Albania, also finished second in Kranjska Gora. It was her third podium finish in the discipline.

“It was very close today, a tough race. I gained a lot of confidence from this second place. Last season was difficult for me in giant slalom. The skis worked really well, and the whole team worked together very well. I’m very proud of that,” said Lara Colturi after the race.

Emma Aicher also celebrated a major career milestone in Sölden! The 22-year-old German had previously reached the podium in three disciplines: downhill, super-G and slalom. Now, with her third-place finish, she has reached the giant slalom podium for the first time as well.

Great start into the season for our WC Rebels with 2 girls on the GS podium in Sölden today: 19 y/o Lara Colturi ends a thrilling race on second place (only 0.01 back) just ahead of Emma Aicher (first GS podium) on third position.
With Sara Hectorector on P4, Camille Rast on P6 and Alice Robinson on P8 we have got three more athletes in the Top 10.

Lara: "Yeah, really hard race today and super close but really happy with my performance. Sölden is a long course but I made it to the finish and it is really good for my confidence because last season was not so easy in GS. My skis were really fast today and HEAD is very supportive. I am really proud for the whole team."

Emma: "My first GS podium came quite unexpected. Sölden is always really difficult and I had my problems in the past but today was so cool. I mean Sölden is Sölden. Pre-season was good for me and I am happy with my skiing."

"The end - time for something new because health comes first!"

After her serious injury in 2023, the past years have been very challenging for Vanessa Nussbaumer. The 27 y/o is happy to be relativ fit again but it is not possible to ski at 100% so Vanessa decided to end her skiracing career.

We wish you all the best for your future, Nessi!
