Since the Frenchman entered the World Cup stage in 2009, he has fascinated ski fans with his consistency, aesthetics, versatility and success. He has now been presented with a special honour in Kitzbühel for his achievements on the Streif and Ganslernhang slopes: Alexis Pinturault received not only a personalised gondola in recognition of his incredible hat-trick in the Combined event in 2014, 2015 and 2016, but also the Hahnenkamm diamond pin.
