Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (born 19 April 2000) is a Brazilian-Norwegian World Cup alpine ski racer from Hokksund and represents the sports club Bærums SK.^[1]

Braathen is the son of a Norwegian father and a Brazilian mother. His middle name 'Pinheiro' is Portuguese for pine tree, paying tribute to his mother and his Brazilian heritage.

He announced his retirement from World Cup racing on 27 October 2023, a day before the new season's opening event in Sölden, Austria.^[2] On 7 March 2024 he announced that he would return to sport, representing Brazil.^[3]

Career

At the Junior World Championships in 2019, Braathen finished fourth and eleventh, followed by a silver medal in super-G, and a bronze medal in the combined event. He made his World Cup debut in December 2018 in Val d'Isere, and collected his first points (five) with a 26th-place finish.^[1]

Braathen recorded his first victory (and podium) in October 2020 at the season opener, a giant slalom in Sölden. In 2022, he won his first slalom at the Lauberhorn race in Wengen, going from 29th place after the first run to first place after the second run, the largest jump to victory on record.^[4] In 2024, this record was broken by Daniel Yule during the Chamonix Slalom event when he went from 30th to 1st place after the second run.
