Marco Sullivan shifts to Atomic

By Published On: July 20th, 2012Comments Off on Marco Sullivan shifts to Atomic

Marco Sullivan has reported a switch to Atomic. The American downhiller had most recently skied with Rossignol, but has also used Nordica for several seasons and Salomon. He used Atomic skis as a junior competitor.

“I’m excited to get on the new long boards and see what they can do,” he said in his newly relaunched blog at https://www.americandownhiller.com/.

Sullivan missed the bulk of the 2011 season after sustaining a head injury at Bormio in December. His best results last season (in World Cup) were a pair of 17th place finishes as he regained form. In 2008 he won a World Cup downhill at Chamonix, France and he also recorded Cup podium finishes in 2009 and early in the 2008 season.
He has won three national titles, two in downhill and one in super G.
