Celebrations at Brazil House as Lucas Pinheiro Braathen wins gold at Winter Olympics - AP was there

(14 Feb 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Milan, Italy - 14 February 2026 1. SOUNDBITE (English/Portugeuse) David Biller, The Associated Press: "I'm here at the Brazil House in Milan where I and everyone else here just watched a Brazilian athlete win the nation's first ever Olympic medal in the Winter Games, and not just any medal. Lucas Pinheiro Brotin won gold in Giant Slalom. This is a huge deal, first time any country in South America has won any medal in the Winter games. Now, everyone erupted in cheers and applause and dancing the moment Lucas crossed the finish line. People were singing, chanting. They were, yeah, samba songs playing, Brazilian funky. There was a Michelin star chef going around with a bucket of pão de queijo, It's a traditional cheese bread, handing it out to people. Everyone here is just having a great time and it's the first day of carnival back in Brazil. So this gives Brazilians around the world something else to celebrate today. You know, the other thing too, is that Brazillians for a long time have felt like their offerings, their abilities have gone under-appreciated to the world, and this is recognition on one of the world's biggest stages that Brazil is a champion.

Wide of mascot and people dancing samba STORYLINE: Brazilian ski racer Lucas Pinheiro Braathen turned in a powerful final run to win the Olympic giant slalom Saturday and earn South America’s first medal at a Winter Games. With snow falling and fog settling in, the 25-year-old Pinheiro Braathen remained cool and relaxed as he navigated his way through the technical Stelvio course. After seeing his place — No. 1 — he fell to the snow before starting to scream. He finished in a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 25 seconds. He beat Swiss racer Marco Odermatt, the defending Olympic champion, by 0.58 seconds. Odermatt's teammate, Loic Meillard, earned bronze. Pinheiro Braathen is the fun-loving, samba-dancing skier who’s ready to get this party started.
