For those of you in North America checking out the Men’s Giant Slalom race from Beaver Creek, Colorado on UniversalSports.com (and of course televised in Europe), you saw some pretty sweet nail-biting action. Ted Shred just missed the podium by 0.21 seconds behind Aksel Lund Svindal with a mistake in the 2nd run that cost him.

But you would have also seen 4 out of the top 12 racers wearing Slytech:

  • Ted Ligety of the USA
  • Hannes Reichelt of Austria
  • Didier Cuche of Switzerland (2nd Place in Saturday’s Downhill)
  • Sandro Viletta also of Switzerland

Not a bad weekend for the Slytech guys.

Solden Winner, Didier Cuche Rockin’ the Slytechs!

First off, a hearty congratulations to the Slytech Shredder Ted Ligety for his 2nd place finish in the season opener in Solden, Austria. He’s an established Slytech rider who’s been loving his protection for years now.

What you may not have known is that Didier Cuche, the winner of the steep hill Soelden GS race, ALSO rocks the Slytech Protection! Check out this pic from the race…

That’s some serious fire-power right there! Cuche # 1, Ligety #2, both relying on Slytech to protect them. And it’s never been more important than in an Olympic year to keep your body protected. If you get injured now, your 2010 Vancouver Olympic dreams are toast.

CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!
