In 2011, Maria Pietilä-Holmner (36) and Hans Olsson (38) shone at the World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (De). In the team event, they won bronze for Sweden. 12 years later they shine again. The reason: the birth of her daughter.
“Watch out, Dad – now we’re two against one!” Pietilä-Holmner wrote on Instagram a few days ago. She also provides a photo showing the new parents with their daughter. The two, who have been a couple since 2004, do not reveal their names.
“I’m a Dad”
The joy is great, as is the number of congratulations. Ex-ski stars such as Anna Veith, Beat Feuz, Dominique Gisin or Felix Neureuther, who all have children, congratulate athletes who are still active.
And what does Olsson mean? He posts a short video. “I’m a dad,” it says below. At first only Olsson can be seen with wide eyes. It’s only when the camera pans down that it becomes clear that he’s looking at the baby.
A total of eight World Cup medals
Will the daughter go skiing sometime? It has the genes for it. While Mami was a technical specialist, he won three of his 207 World Cup races (two slaloms and one city event) and at the World Championships silver in giant slalom (2007), bronze in slalom (2011) and four team medals (one silver, three bronze). ), the papi was a speed specialist. Olsson competed 155 times in the World Cup, was third twice in the downhill (2008 and 2009) and won silver in the team event in addition to bronze in the World Championships (2007). He ended his career three years earlier than his partner in 2015.
“My other half is already thinking about when she will put on her skis for the first time,” Pietilä-Holmner told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. “Maybe next winter is a little early, but it won’t be long now.”
Pietilä-Holmner is sure she will become a bit of a skier. But she emphasizes: “You don’t have to be as competitive as we are. She just needs to have fun.” (bir)
