Fun video. Obviously to promote the St. Moritz 2017 FIS World Championships. Seeing Cuche made me think of Bode, though. Not that Cuche is making/faking a comeback, Ha!
If Bode had decided to actually publicly retire, as Cuche did, rumor is that he could have been signed to a personal services contract with Head {and CEO Eliasch} that would dwarf Cuche's deal. And let's assume that Cuche has a good one. He's a popular guy.
These typically require giving the company a certain number of days a year. Say it's 20. I hear pretty good speculation that Bode left a lot of money on the table. More than some think he could ever pull out of Bomber.
But, some say he didn't want to commit to the 20 days.
Head and the Swiss federation keep Cuche's name and face public, as it helps them. It's a huge sport there. This is possibly a FIS/Audi spot, too. CertIanly Audi, duh! Fun.
Bode plays a very good tennis game. He's also a darn good golfer. Bode would be a good guy to have "hanging around" if you were the Head CEO. Bode is still a "rock star" in Europe. Just thinking.
Cuche just killing it! Any notice of the skis? Look to be an old pair of his GS group. BTW, Cuche is 42. Retired at 37. He had a lot of injuries over the years, too. But serious competitor. Guy is always smiling and chuckling. Loved watching him. Like the short guys.
Lara Gut and Cuche are no doubt two of the most popular athletes in the country. Along with Federer.
Fun video! Thanks for posting it.
