About Lucas Pinheiro Braathen
Brazilian World Cup alpine ski racer (slalom, giant slalom) born in Oslo to a Norwegian father and Brazilian mother; raced for Norway from his Dec 2018 World Cup debut until announcing retirement on 27 Oct 2023 (that season's SL discipline champion). Returned to racing on 7 March 2024 under the Brazilian flag instead, and exactly a year after his retirement announcement scored the first-ever World Cup points for Brazil in alpine skiing (4th, GS, Soelden, 27 Oct 2024). Won Brazil's first World Cup race the following season (GS, Kranjska Gora, 2025-26) and claimed the men's giant slalom Crystal Globe at the 2025-26 World Cup Finals in Lillehammer - Brazil's first Crystal Globe in any discipline and his own second overall (after the 2023 slalom title). Carried the Brazilian flag at the Milano-Cortina 2026 opening ceremony alongside Nicole Silveira, then won Olympic giant slalom gold on 14 Feb 2026 - the first Winter Olympics medal ever for Brazil, for South America, and for any tropical nation.
Career World Cup record (through 2025-26): 6 wins (4 SL, 2 GS), 22 podiums (13 SL, 9 GS), 2 discipline Crystal Globes (SL 2023, GS 2025-26). Norwegian federation career (2018-2023) and Brazilian career (2024-present) are tracked as one continuous World Cup record by FIS/Wikipedia despite the nationality switch. Public relationship with Brazilian actress Isadora Cruz since June 2025.
