The Aigner sisters are a sensation in para ski racing. They have celebrated numerous successes since their debut in the 2018-19 World Cup season. Their harmony and connection - from training to racing design - make you an unbeatable team. As the daughter of a family in which several members have visual impairments, the sisters share a special bond, which is also reflected in their sporting performance. Veronika, who was born with cataracts, needs a guide to orientate himself on the slopes. Her sister Elisabeth took over this task and has not only made her own career end, but also the beginning of Veronika's success. The Aigners also started this season with great enthusiasm and won each of their previous six races, reported paralympic.org .

Your joint success in the giant slalom is the result of years of training and tireless efforts as well as the support of your family. With their unique team spirit and the willingness to master challenges together, the Aigners not only showed brilliant services on the slopes, but also proved that family and cohesion in sport are crucial.
