Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made skiing history as he delivered Brazil’s first-ever World Cup victory in a thrilling season-opening race at Levi on Sunday.
Pinheiro Braathen, who switched allegiance from Norway to Brazil last year, held a commanding 0.41-seconds lead from the first run and weaved his way down through the gates again in an ice-cool second run to claim the landmark win.
