13 times in a row: Fischer is the clear number 1

The Ski Flying in Planica, Slovenia marked the end of the 21/22 World Cup season. Once again, the numbers clearly demonstrate how impressive Fischer’s success was: In the Nordic disciplines Cross Country, Biathlon, Jumping, and Nordic Combined in the 21/22 World Cup season Fischer Race Family athletes earned places on the podium 281 times in 159 events. They hauled in 98 World Cup victories, 92 second places, and 91 third places. On top of that, they secured six of the eight large crystal globes awarded to overall World Cup winners, along with six of the thirteen smaller globes for individual discipline World Cup victories. 59% of all podium places were won in Fischer skis and boots, as well as 71% with the TURNAMIC® binding set-up. After Fischer clearly proved itself once again to be the most successful ski, boot, and binding brand at the Beijing Olympics, Fischer athletes decisively confirmed that status over the entire season for the thirteenth time in a row since the 09/10 season. Just as impressive and successful was the performance of the new Speedmax packages of skis, boots, and bindings, where it wasn’t just their fluorescent yellow color causing the excitement.

In the Biathlon alone, 20 World Cup victories were earned with the Premio 30 pole from ONE WAY, a total no other brand could match in the just completed 21/22 season.
