The 27-year-old from Nidwalden announces the early extension of his contract with his main sponsor Red Bull and his entry as an investor in his long-time equipment partner, X-Bionic.
Just before the start of the 24/25 World Cup season, the three-time overall World Cup champion shares news about his partnerships. A multi-year extension has been agreed with Austrian beverage manufacturer Red Bull ahead of schedule. Red Bull has been Odermatt’s main sponsor since the 21/22 season, with their logo displayed prominently on the Olympic champion’s helmet. Before that, there was already a connection to the global brand through bottle sponsorship.
“I am incredibly excited about continuing to work with the entire Red Bull team. Over the past years, I have met wonderful people and could always count on their support. Having someone by my side who understands the challenges of top-level sports is invaluable to me. It means a great deal to be able to continue our story together,” Odermatt said.
This long-term commitment reflects the mutual appreciation and will be a key building block for Odermatt’s future career path. In particular, the Athlete Performance Center in Thalgau near Salzburg, along with Red Bull’s extensive expertise in the ski world, provides Marco Odermatt with excellent prospects for achieving his future athletic goals.
