Michael Hellweger and Iris De Martin Pinter prevail on the first snow of the year: a day with an Olympic flavor.
Livigno, 30.08.2025 – The BWT 1K Shot 2025 was once again a truly stunning sporting and organizational success, turning the heart of Livigno into a genuine alpine stage: a unique setting that thrilled fans who came to experience an event that, despite the rain, blended sport, entertainment, and lifestyle—true to the spirit of Livigno.
The kilometer of snow, preserved from last winter thanks to snowfarming, reshaped the village streets among restaurants and boutiques, offering both passersby and spectators in the stands a head-to-head showdown among Italy’s cross-country skiing stars. Between emerging local talents and the champions of the Italian National Team, the warmest ovation was reserved for Federico Pellegrino, who in Livigno—long the base for his altitude training—kicked off the final season of an extraordinary career, becoming the symbol of a day charged with deep emotion.
In the men’s race, victory went to Michael Hellweger of the Carabinieri Sports Center, after a thrilling head-to-head that captivated the crowd. He edged out local athlete Niccolò Bianchi, who confirmed his second place from the 2024 edition. Third place went to Elia Barp of the Fiamme Gialle. In the women’s field, Iris De Martin Pinter, also representing the Carabinieri Sports Center, delivered a dominant performance, finishing well ahead of Nicole Monsorno of the Fiamme Gialle. Latvian skier Patricja Eiduka completed the podium.
The celebration continued in Plaza dal Comun with a breathtaking freestyle and snowboard show that left the audience in awe. Siblings Miro and Flora Tabanelli, together with the young talents of the Livigno Team and Sporting Club Livigno, delivered a high-level performance that brought together different generations—an Olympic preview of both the near and distant future—sharing the same stage between the stars we will see shine at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games and the very young athletes who dream of future editions.
The Olympic spirit had already ignited the evening before with the talk ‘Dreams of Olympia,’ hosted by Jacopo Pozzi, which brought stories, emotions, and reflections to the stage: from Federico Pellegrino’s heartfelt account to Michela Moioli’s excitement, from the youthful energy of the Tabanelli siblings to the determination of Jole Galli and Maurizio Bormolini, athletes born and raised in Livigno. A captivating dialogue that blended lightheartedness, inspiration, and all-around sporting passion. In Piazza del Comune, the official Milano Cortina 2026 torches were also on display—small masterpieces of design destined to last forever—offering a symbolic preview of the Olympic flame’s arrival in Livigno, scheduled just before the Games: yet another opportunity to already feel close to the Five Rings and breathe their spirit through the village streets. The evening concluded with the ‘Gara da li Contrada da Livign,’ a community-wide challenge that filled the kilometer of snow with pride, historical costumes, energy, and a strong sense of identity.
The BWT 1K Shot thus marked the first tangible step toward the Olympic season: a symbolic beginning projecting Livigno toward 2026, when the resort will host the Winter Olympic Games. As always, the event fused seamlessly with Livigno’s identity: an exclusive alpine destination where tradition meets contemporary style, with refined boutiques, gourmet dining, and experiences suited to every kind of active holiday.
Here, everything takes on a special hue: spectacular landscapes, sporting energy, and alpine lifestyle transform the race into an experience far beyond competition. The magic of the BWT 1K Shot 2025 thus becomes the opening act of a journey that will lead Livigno to the very heart of the Olympic adventure of the 2026 Winter Games.
