Fischer Continues On Its Path To Success

With an impressive performance and two triple victories at the Grande Finale Summit2Senja, the Fischer Race Family crowned an exceptionally successful season. Throughout the entire World Cup winter, Fischer athletes racked up 92 victories, 99 second-place finishes, and 86 third-place finishes, securing 49% of all podium finishes—in addition to their strong performances at the Olympic Games.

This means that Fischer has now been the by far most successful ski, boot, and binding brand in the nordic World Cup for the 17th consecutive season since the 09l10 season.

With remarkable consistency, great determination, and numerous top performances, the Fischer team once again demonstrated its strength in international ski racing this past winter. The success on slopes around the world highlights the immense potential, team spirit, and passion that define the Fischer brand.

Last winter once again demonstrated just how strongly the small Fischer team consistently performs in international ski racing. Our athletes competed on slopes around the world with great dedication, impressive consistency, and numerous top performances—and in this way represented the Fischer brand in an impressive manner. With their strong performances, they were not only able to celebrate personal successes but also made a significant contribution to Fischer’s visibility on the international racing circuit.

Particularly noteworthy are the top results from the past season: The Fischer team secured a total of eight podium finishes—three by Eduard Hallberg, three by Stefan Brennsteiner, and one each by Luca Aerni and Stefan Rogentin. A special highlight was provided by Stefan Brennsteiner, who not only stood on the podium three times but also celebrated his first, emotionally charged World Cup victory.

The young Finn Eduard Hallberg made a particularly big splash, achieving his international breakthrough with three podium finishes and a total of six top-ten results, and was named a “Rising Ski Star” by the FIS. Erik Solberg, another promising talent, also had a strong season with three top-ten finishes—including an impressive fifth place—as well as a total of 14 results in the points. Lara Della Mea also performed strongly with six top-ten finishes, as did Fabian Gratz, who has steadily established himself on the World Cup circuit.

Particularly encouraging is the broad depth of performance within the team: from technical to speed disciplines, from established World Cup racers to young talents—Fischer athletes are making their presence felt and showing development across the board. This mix ensures sustainable success and underscores the consistent work behind the scenes, whether in product development, service, or on-site support.

Outstanding successes were also celebrated beyond the classic Alpine World Cup: Mathilde Gremaud (SUI) in Alpine Freestyle and Marianne Fatton (SUI) in ski mountaineering each capped off their seasons with Olympic gold medals, marking absolute highlights. Their achievements impressively demonstrate the versatility and strength of the Fischer team across all disciplines.

Throughout the entire World Cup winter, Fischer athletes racked up 92 victories, 99 second-place finishes, and 86 third-place finishes, securing 49% of all podium finishes—in addition to their strong performances at the Olympic Games.

The future also looks bright yellow: At the Youth, Junior, and U23 World Championships, Fischer’s young stars won an incredible 57% of the medals across all four Nordic disciplines. In the Ski Classics series, athletes using Fischer equipment dominated by winning not only the overall standings but also all categories—Climb, Sprint, and Youth—for both women and men. Thus, throughout the 25l26 season, across all levels, confidence in Speedmax products was once again impressively confirmed.
