Matthias Mayer Takes On Role As Ambassador For 2025 World Champs

The three-time Olympic champion and Austria's most successful alpine skiracer in Olympic Winter Games is now the official ambassador for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2025 in Saalbach.

The Saalbach double winner of 2015 was also impressed by the World Championships concept from the beginning: "It is a great honor for me to take on this role. Skiing was and is still is my life. I have been to many major events and have experienced a lot in my career. The overall concept for the World Championships in Saalbach has inspired me and I’m absolutely convinced that we will experience a real sports festival in February 2025."
