On October 11, 2021, the premiere took place together with the athletes at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very similar in some ways, yet completely different in others - that perfectly describes Marco Odermatt and Lo\u00efc Meillard. But both pursue the same goal: to improve every single day in order to one day win the overall Ski World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of six months, Red Bull and producer Amelie Stiefvatter accompanied the Swiss ski stars and teammates up close, gaining exclusive insights into the world of professional skiing. What does it really take to become a top-level ski racer? And how do athletes prepare physically and mentally for competition?\n\nEvery athlete needs an environment and a place to switch off, recharge, and regain strength. As professional sportsmen, Marco and Lo\u00efc are constantly in the spotlight and must balance their sporting careers with commitments to sponsors and partners - a rewarding yet daily challenge for both athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abFilming this documentary was an incredible experience. Having Lo\u00efc and me as the main part of this project is a great honor and a memory for life.\u00bb Marco Odermatt on his collaboration with the Red Bull team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do Marco and Lo\u00efc remain grounded after success and stay motivated after setbacks? And how do they maintain team spirit despite fierce competition? Trust and strong relationships with teammates and staff are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet at the end of every winter, one question always remains:\nWhat will the next ski season bring - and how will they continue to evolve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-no-zoom=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D1T7463-002-e1634549677423.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D1T7463-002-e1634549677423.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D1T7463-002-e1634549677423-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D1T7463-002-e1634549677423-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-no-zoom=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D2T8185-002-e1634549620390.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D2T8185-002-e1634549620390.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D2T8185-002-e1634549620390-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vitabad.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Romina-Amato_Red-Bull-Content-Pool_D2T8185-002-e1634549620390-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo\u00efc Meillard is also pleased with the successful cooperation: \u00abWe are delighted to be able to give people exciting and new insights into our everyday lives with this documentary.
