Cormac Comerford - Irish Alpine Ski Racer

A historic Olympic debut for me!

🏆 Achieved Irelands best ever Olympic result in slalom.

🥇First Irish athlete ever to tackle the legendary Stelvio Downhill in Bormio.

The journey here has taken me beyond my wildest dreams!
Oozing with pride and gratitute for the journey, the people and the experience.

Thank you for the army of support 🇮🇪💪.

Éire abú. Bródúil asainn.

It’s a big week!

So it’s probably time for a recap.

We’re nearing the end of an intense 18 months of qualification for the 2026 Winter Olympics (6-22 Feb) and selection will be announced after the 21st of January date TBC.

Very proud of how the team and I have worked over the last 6 months and leading up to this Olympic year. Can’t say too much at the moment but I’ll keep you updated and keep sharing more of the day to day.

Thank you to all of you for the supportive messages, comments and sharing this incredible journey. That’s what makes it so special.

Chat soon,

Cormac

Posting some sun on the page because sun is not what we’ve got here in Aprica 😂💧

Excited to plough on with 2x more GS races here in Aprica, Italy, not too far from Bormio where the men’s Olympic events will take place.

Hoping for some cold air to roll in and save us from getting sodden in the rain we’ve had the past two days.

Will post the live timing in my stories so stay tuned.

LFG

Momentum is building!

More points on the board over the weekend in Paß Thurn.

Far from my finest performances but these two races were real tests of my GS.

The rolling terrain and melting snow really didn’t make it easy to catch any kind of flow.

Not the results I know I’m capable of but a step in the right direction.

The work continues. More races coming up at the end of the week before Christmas break.

Stay tuned

⛷️Race days are nonstop at this time of year!

Another opportunity tomorrow to test myself and to keep building brick by brick…

First GS races of the season under the belt and another career best result!

Feeling better and better day by day on the longer boards so was great to kick off this block of GS races with a PB points score (59 points).

Made a big mistake in race one but pulled it together for the 2nd day thankfully. Still lots of work to get to where we want to be but it’s a step in the right direction.

Onwards

2nd best points score of the season secured in Valle di Casies, Italy before the weekend. 💪🏻 (37.95 points)

Some good turns but still lots of speed to be found so we keep working.

Looking forward to a short break at home before hitting training hard in early December and making some more gains before Christmas.
