Defining a generation

It’s been a long, beautiful road, my friend. I don’t know if anyone could have predicted where we’ve arrived, but everyone knew you were something special when you first hit the track way back in ‘04. Seeing you grow as a racer is one thing, but watching you redefine what it means to be a competitor has been a true privilege. From National, European, World Championships, World Cups, Olympics, and more, you have always risen to the occasion in bulk, claiming and reclaiming titles and records that will be cemented in our sport’s history forever.

The count is baffling—36 World Cup wins, 10 World Championships Titles, 9 World Cup Overall Champion Titles (one of them a perfect season), 9 Swiss National Championships, 3 Olympic medals. And that's just the big stuff. But beyond the record books, it’s the way you raced—with relentless focus, unwavering determination, and pure passion—that defined an era. You’ve given everything to this sport, and in return, inspired generations.

Cheers to you, Nino, for the journey so far—it's been nothing short of our honor to be on the ride with you—and here's to the next one. Dankäschöön, Nino.
