the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where she claimed victory in the super-G discipline. That victory would ultimately go down as one of the biggest surprises in Olympic alpine history. The skier also holds four alpine World Cup victories and 12 podiums, along with a downhill bronze from the 2025 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, Austria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But perhaps the most unique part of her career is her success in another sport: snowboarding. <\/strong>Ledeck\u00e1 has established herself as one of the best Alpine snowboarders in the world, winning a total of five Olympic (including her second Olympic gold) and World Championship titles. She is the only athlete in history to have won Olympic gold in both skiing and snowboarding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While HEAD primarily focuses on manufacturing skis, it manufactures snowboards as well, and the brand is ready to support a high-level athlete who competes in both sports.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEster Ledeck\u00e1 is, of course, a very special athlete.<\/strong> Her dual focus on alpine skiing and snowboarding presents a new and exciting challenge for us,\u201d HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber said in the announcement. \u201cShe has already demonstrated her immense potential, most notably with her Olympic victory. If we can perfectly fine-tune her equipment to meet her needs, I expect her to compete at the highest level in Downhill and Super-G and challenge for the Crystal Globes.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/snowbrains.com\/2026-27-fis-alpine-world-cup-calendar\/\">Provisional 2026-27 Alpine World Cup Calendar Sees 21 Races in North America<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For Ledeck\u00e1, the signing marks another exciting step forward in her career, and a chance to ride some of the most reliable skis in the industry. <\/strong>Quality equipment is crucial in skiing and snowboarding, where just hundredths of a second can be the difference between gold and silver.
