Lucas Pinheiro Braathen não quer repetir o que já fez — quer ir além. O brasileiro abre a nova temporada do circuito mundial de esqui alpino neste domingo (25), em Sölden, na Áustria, com uma meta que ainda não alcançou: o Globo de Cristal do overall, troféu entregue ao esquiador mais completo do planeta no fim de março de 2027.

A abertura do calendário é o slalom gigante, como manda a tradição. Daí em diante, o atleta terá agenda bem mais cheia do que na temporada passada: além do slalom e do gigante, ele também entra no Super-G, somando pontos em três das quatro disciplinas do esqui alpino — slalom, gigante, Super-G e downhill.

“É um desafio gigante, mas eu amo isso”, afirmou. Segundo o campeão olímpico, são justamente esses testes que abrem caminho para evoluir e conquistar objetivos novos.

O ouro nos Jogos de Milão-Cortina 2026 foi o pontapé da arrancada. Na sequência, o brasileiro faturou as duas últimas etapas do calendário e terminou o gigante na liderança, garantindo o título da disciplina.

A temporada passada fechou com primeiro lugar no gigante, vice-campeonato do overall e terceiro posto no slalom. Foram nove medalhas: dois ouros, seis pratas e um bronze.

O desempenho também mudou a relação do público com a modalidade. “Fico até emocionado de lembrar disso”, disse ele, ao comentar o esporte que virou até fantasia de carnaval.

Cada etapa distribui pontos conforme a colocação, e o líder da classificação ao final do inverno leva o Globo de Cristal da categoria. Em Sölden, a primeira descida está marcada para as 6h no horário de Brasília; a segunda roda começa às 9h.
