It is the future of German skiing

The Olympic season is off to a good start for Emma Aicher. Despite her sporting highs, the native Swede remains down to earth.
However, she doesn’t like being the center of attention. Aicher is down-to-earth in interviews and usually gives short answers. For her, the focus is clearly on the snow, not away from it. The athlete said after her third place in the night race in France: “I just rode. Skiing is going in the right direction right now, I’m just happy with it.”
No words of celebration, no exuberant atmosphere and certainly no flights of fancy. The praise comes from others. TV expert and former ski star Neureuther said on ARD about Aicher’s performance in Courchevel: “She did that cleverly. I always have to take my hat off to this woman. What she does is crazy!”
And also something that is no longer very common in the “ski circus”. Because: Aicher competes in all disciplines. She doesn’t miss any and therefore can’t train as much as others. Her training is the competitions in which she competes with the really big and experienced stars. The all-rounder is used to living out of a suitcase. The foundation for this was laid early on.
Aicher was born in Sweden and grew up there in Sundsvall. Her mother is Swedish, her father is German. She first trained in a ski club in Sweden and later in Engelberg, Switzerland, before attending a boarding school in Berchtesgaden. Aicher has been competing for Germany since the 2020/21 season and made her World Cup debut in November 2021.
Just a year later she took part in the Winter Olympics in Beijing, where she came 18th in the slalom and 21st in the giant slalom. She also won silver with the team. Aicher could then win an individual medal in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo next year. She recently proved that she has what it takes.
