Canadian is a Downhill World Champion

in what he calls the race of his life!

"Kucera reached the skiing summit yesterday in Val d'Isère, France, scaling a platform not even the legendary Crazy Canucks could manage – the top of the men's downhill podium at the world alpine championships," writes the Toronto Star

It’s been a long road but it’s a dream come true,” said the 24-year-old Kucera. “It’s an amazing feeling. It shows that all the work that me, my teammates and all the coaches and staff in Alpine Canada Alpin are putting in is paying off. Everything is heading in the right direction. It’s not only a confidence boost for myself but for the whole team.”

“This is not only a world championship medal but it’s my first medal in the downhill. So it’s very exciting and unbelievable,” said Kucera, who earned the use of a GMC vehicle for one year with today’s victory among other performance incentives.
