Last year the Audi FIS Ski World Cup organizers in Levi, Finland, started a tradition of awarding the race winners with a Lapland reindeer.

Mikaela Shiffrin and Marcel Hirscher became proud owners of two baby reindeer that they named Rudolf and Ferdinand, respectively.

The tradition will continue this year, and the winners of the slalom competitions on Nov. 15 and 16 will be gifted reindeers to name before they join Rudolf and Ferdinand at the Ounaskievari Reindeer Farm close to Levi.
