La Squadra Nazionale Svizzera di Sci Alpino è una superpotenza globale, che ha dimostrato la sua incredibile forza e determinazione nei Giochi Olimpici, nei Campionati del Mondo e nelle Coppe del Mondo.
L'applicazione costante della scienza è stata una delle ragioni principali del suo successo. Dai capi testati nei tunnel aerodinamici alle scansioni 3D degli atleti (in collaborazione con Armasuisse) e ai nuovi metodi di allenamento, il suo approccio è sempre stato altamente accademico.
Questo dinamico mix di teoria e pratica ha messo il team sulla strada di una serie di successi storici.
"X-Bionic ha dimostrato la grande rilevanza di una biancheria funzionale perfetta per la sensazione corporea e l'aerodinamica dei nostri atleti."
A history of success
The Swiss national team's alpine ski history stretches back much further than X-Bionic®.
The golden era of the 1980s saw phenomenal skiers like Pirmin Zurbriggen, Vreni Schneider, Erika Hess, and Michela Figini all compete on the international stage.
Today, with X-Bionic® supplying the technical base layers and socks, Swiss-Ski is on another medal streak.
We’ve supported athletes including:
Didier Cuche, among the top 10 all-time in FIS World Cup downhill and super-G. Didier collected 186 awards during his career, including the title for oldest World Cup race winner (a feat he achieved, in 2012, while wearing X-Socks®).
Lara Gut Behrami, an Olympic medalist with more than 20 wins in speed events at FIS. She is currently in the all-time top 10 women racers at FIS and the top five in super-G at FIS, with time yet to make even more history. In 2015-16, she took the overall title in FIS.
Beat Fuez, an Olympic gold medalist and in the top four of all-time in FIS rankings – with no sign of slowing down.
Wendy Holdener, a slalom specialist and Olympian.
Marco Odermatt, an Olympic gold medal winner and a world-renowned figure in giant slalom. He is also an X-Bionic® brand ambassador.
X-Bionic® became an official supplier to Swiss-Ski in 2013, providing the best functional ski underwear on the market. Since then, Swiss-Ski has won seven gold, three silver, and six bronze medals at the Olympics.
Before the 2019/20 season launch, the Swiss-Ski team met with X-Bionic® to test the new X-Bionic® Energy Accumulator 4.0 using the most rigorous testing environment in the world – the Audi Wind-Tunnel, where the Energy Accumulator 4.0 smashed the performance records of all previously tested products.
In 2019/20, that new standard for aerodynamics helped Swiss-Ski topple the 30-year Austrian reign in the Nations Cup.The following season, Switzerland was ranked the world’s No. 1 Alpine skiing nation. So it was no surprise when, in 2021, the partnership between Swiss-Ski and X-Bionic® was extended to 2026.
