In an outstanding and historic performance, the Brazilian skier took first place in the giant slalom, winning his country’s first medal at a Winter Olympics.
Incredible, spectacular, historic. These were some of the exclamations from the audience and the media present who witnessed the Brazilian skier’s achievement.
What the Time Brasil authorities had predicted prior to the Games (they were confident of a podium finish) came to fruition on Saturday, February 14.
Lucas Pinheiro, born in Norway but with a Brazilian mother, achieved glory in the giant slalom at Milano Cortina 2026.
In a spectacular performance, he achieved the best time of the day, 2:25.00, and took the gold medal. This was not only the first medal for Brazil, but also the first for a Latin American country in history.
Second place went to Marco Odermatt and third place and the bronze medal to Loic Meillard, both from Switzerland.
Panam Sports President Neven Ilic and his Executive Committee congratulate Lucas Pinheiro, Team Brazil, and the entire Brazilian Olympic Committee on this important and historic achievement.
