A Swiss love letter and a crab catcher

Swiss ski star Corinne Suter was moved to make a declaration of love. Meanwhile, a Finnish technician shone far from the slopes.

From: never

Corinne Suter is already feeling the excitement again: Almost exactly three months before the World Cup opener in Sölden, the 2022 Olympic downhill champion gave her fans a glimpse into her daily training routine on snow. "Nothing makes me happier," the 31-year-old wrote under a video on social media showing her training on the Allalin Glacier in Saas-Fee in the Valais Alps. A declaration of love for skiing – a sport in which she aims to once again challenge the top this coming winter.

Last season didn't exactly go according to plan for the Swiss skier. In December 2025, Suter suffered a torn muscle fiber in her left lower leg, a contusion of her left knee joint, and an undisplaced fracture in her right foot during the World Cup in St. Moritz.

Although she returned after only five weeks – in record time – she was unable to fulfill her dream of a medal at the Olympic Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Now she wants to make a full comeback in a complete season.

Hallberg shines as a crab catcher

While Suter is already honing her form on snow, slalom ace Eduard Hallberg is shining on a completely different terrain – as a crab fisherman. In a social media post, the 22-year-old Finn proudly presented his catch, which he landed near the Norwegian island of Sula.

Last season, Hallberg was one of the rising stars. In Levi, Madonna di Campiglio, and Lillehammer, the youngster secured the first three World Cup podium finishes of his career, and finished eighth in the overall slalom standings. At the Winter Games, however, he was plagued by bad luck: he was eliminated in the first run of both the slalom and giant slalom, though he did manage a ninth-place finish in the team combined. In the winter of 2026/27, Hallberg aims for a major breakthrough – and, given his past crab hunting, he could take his own experience as a role model.
