As a skier one becomes used to performing in front of thousands of fans, but what happens when the roles get reversed?
This year Audi invited a handful of skiers to one of the most exciting football tournaments of the summer, the Audi Cup at the Munich Allianz Arena.
Dominik Paris, Federica Brignone, Eva-Maria Brem, Nicole Hosp and others watched four exciting matches over the two days of the tournament. They witnessed FC Bayern München win the Audi Cup for the second time in front of 68,000 spectators in the packed Allianz Arena and enjoyed two extraordinary football evenings with four world-class teams. AC Milan beat São Paulo FC 1:0 in the third place playoff earlier in the evening. In the final between FC Bayern München and Manchester City FC, the local matadors won 2:1 and in doing so won the first international title of the new season.
Of course our Behind the Scenes cameras were there to document it all! Enjoy!
The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is the top international circuit of Alpine Skiing competitions staged annually. It is considered the premier competition in alpine ski racing together with the quadrennial Olympic Winter Games and the biennial FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. Some experts event consider winning the World Cup to be athletically a more valuable title than winning gold at the Olympic Winter Games or the World Championships, since it requires a competitor to ski at an extremely high level in several events throughout the season, and not just in one race. Today, the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races are held primarily at famous ski resorts in the European Alps, along with regular stops in Scandinavia, North America, and Far East Asia. Competitors attempt to score a maximum of points during the season in five events: slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill and super combined. The fifth event, super-combined, was introduced in 2005 and generally consists of a shorter downhill race and a one-run slalom. Sometimes the downhill is replaced by a super-G. Alpine was added to the Olympic winter schedule in 1936.
