Gold reception for Vicky in the Bräustüberl

After her sensational Olympic victory in Vancouver in 2010, Viktoria Rebensburg was enthusiastically welcomed at the Tegernseer Bräustüberl – warm, hearty and down-to-earth, just like the Kreuth native herself.

After winning her gold medal in the giant slalom at the Vancouver Olympic Games, Viktoria Rebensburg celebrated an emotional reception with hundreds of fans at the Bräustüberl on Lake Tegernsee. Accompanied by family, friends, and her hometown club, the Kreuth Ski Club, the then 20-year-old presented herself as authentic, natural, and modest. Just a few weeks earlier, she and club chairman Sepp Bartl had thanked landlord Peter Hubert for his support of the club's youth team. A golden moment for the affable Olympic champion—and for the Bräustüberl.
