The Next Turn is thrilled to sit with the most successful French skier in World Cup history, Alexis Pinturault. His wife, Romane, joined the conversation, offering a unique behind the scenes look at the life of a World Cup athlete. Alexis shares insight into his somewhat shocking announcement that he will no longer be starting World Cup slalom races, instead shifting focus to GS and speed events, and he speaks to the learning curve involved in making that switch. He sheds light on the pressing issue of climate change and the role played by FIS in scheduling races. During our conversation, the couple also shares some happy news, possibly inadvertently revealing the gender of their upcoming addition to the Pinturault family. Don’t miss this amazing conversation. As always, hosts Martin, Cara, and this week’s guest host, Tom Kelly share their “SWIX Thoughts of the Day.”
