Urs Lehmann will step down as Swiss-Ski president after 17 years to become the first CEO of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation at the end of September. The 1993 downhill world champion and former FIS Council member brings decades of experience in sport and business to the new role, aiming to guide the federation through upcoming challenges.
Swiss-Ski has officially named 117 athletes to its 2025–26 national alpine team, including 57 men and 60 women across World Cup, Europa Cup, and development levels, highlighting the depth and future of Swiss ski racing.
Switzerland dominated the Saalbach 2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, leading the medal count and sweeping the men’s team combined. The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women delivered four medals, with Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin securing golds. Norway fell short of expectations, while Austria thrived at home with seven medals. Meanwhile, France and Canada failed to reach the podium, a major disappointment after past success.
Von Allmen seized his moment, proving that the next generation of Swiss downhill racers is ready to dominate. With fearless precision and relentless aggression, he attacked every section of the Schneekristall/Zwölfer course, pushing to the absolute limit. As he crossed the line in first, the Swiss fans erupted, celebrating yet another World Championship gold. Even the Austrian crowd, despite their heartbreak, acknowledged the brilliance of his run—a performance that cemented Switzerland’s grip on the speed events and left no doubt that Von Allmen is a force to be reckoned with.
