See what awards Petra Vlhová can win in the coming season:

The latest addition is the large crystal globe for the overall championship in the World Cup. He is accompanied by two small slalom and a parallel slalom. Vlhová did not leave empty-handed even from the three world championships, from which she brought gold, four silver and bronze. Among her greatest triumphs, only the medal from the Olympics is missing.

But even that collection of trophies does not end there. The game also includes awards for podium placements in individual World Cup competitions. In terms of value, they may not achieve the importance of higher prizes, but they are unique, creative and specific to the areas in which the race takes place. Some of them are desirable among competitors just for their originality.

Reindeer, crowns or flashy helmets

For the first time, American ski legend Lindsey Vonn, who won a cow instead of a cash check, won the live trophy with a live trophy. She named it Olympe because she won it during the Olympic season. Gradually, she expanded her menagerie with a goat from the world championships and another cow, which she also won in France.

He currently rewards animals with the Finnish Levi, where in slalom, competitors can win a reindeer. The winners may name him, but the reindeer remains behind the Arctic Circle. However, they have the opportunity to follow their lives in Lapland through social media and photos. When they return to the center, they can be welcomed again. The largest herd is Mikaela Shiffrin, who dominated four slaloms. Vlhová, who already has three bushy friends, is catching up behind her.

Zagreb is also popular, offering the winner the title of Snow Queen with a crown, which is displayed in the hotel lobby before the race. In the previous season, Vlhova managed to defend her championship in slalom, and in January 2022 she will once again have a chance to sit on the Croatian throne.

The award in French Courchevel, where the winner is decorated with an artistic helmet, also attracts attention with its unconventionality. A new piece will be created for each race by designer David Cintract, who seeks inspiration in the works of Warhol, Rembrandt or Leonardo da Vinci when designing.

They went naturally in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where the best three get a processed piece of Kandahar rock. In the last few years, they have used about five tons of stone to make trophies.

Vlhová started in 151 World Cup races, took the podium 44 times, of which she was 20 times first. She has won some awards repeatedly, but there are still a few that she can use to diversify her collection. See what trophies will compete for in the new season.
