Tumler triumphs in Beaver Creek giant slalom, marking a career milestone after 12 years and 123 races on the World Cup circuit.
- Thomas Tumler claimed his maiden World Cup victory in the men's giant slalom at Beaver Creek, Colorado, with a combined time of 2:27.60 across two runs.
- Brazil's Lucas Pinheiro Braathen finished 0.12 seconds behind Tumler, becoming the first Brazilian man to achieve a World Cup podium finish.
- Tumler's win capped off a Swiss sweep at Beaver Creek, following victories by Justin Murisier in the downhill and Marco Odermatt in the Super-G earlier in the weekend.
- The 35-year-old Swiss skier had previously achieved only three podium finishes in 123 World Cup races since debuting in 2012.
- Reigning World Cup champion Marco Odermatt failed to finish his second run, ending his bid for a third podium at the Colorado resort this weekend.
