Coach unpacks:
“Then you shouldn’t get too close to Braathen”
Always the sunny boy, always in a good mood? Lucas Pinheiro Braathen can be different, as his coach Mike Pircher has now revealed.
"Many people see Lucas as the laid-back sunny boy. In reality, just like Marcel Hirscher, he has an iron will to win. That's why he demands so much from me. And I've also learned in the meantime that I shouldn't get too close to him immediately after a bad run, because otherwise it can be really dangerous. Lucas is highly explosive," the Swiss newspaper "Blick" quotes the Austrian as saying.
No points in the Adelboden RTL
Braathen has been competing for Brazil since this World Cup season, and the 24-year-old raced to second place in both the Beaver Creek giant slalom and Adelboden slalom. However, the Norwegian-born racer has also had the odd failure, including in the giant slalom in Adelboden, where he was eliminated in the first run.
Braathen still has to wait for his first victory under the Brazilian flag. However, it shouldn't be long now, as on Saturday he was just two hundredths off Frenchman Clement Noel's time in the slalom.
