ATLAS' COUPLE INTERVIEW ON ORF TRANSCRIPTION
Interviewer: Lucas Braathen is celebrating his 5th world cup win, congratulations! A special win for you, since the stress has been high?
Lucas: Oh, it's been so hard this past week:
I: Oh, there comes your colleague!
Atle: *happy laughing*
Lc: And now I'm here in Adelboden in front of all these crazy swiss fans and then there's the green light and the first person I see is my friend Atle. I- it's unbelievable, this is the day we've dreamt of since the age of *turning to atle for reassurance* what?
At: Ever since Lucas and I were twelve years old we've had a dream
Lc: *trying not to cry*
At: and this dream is being first and second in the same world cup race and today - today, NOW! it's here! It's mental unbelievable. This feeling I had when I was in the lead and Lucas was about to start was: "It doesn't matter who (of us) wins, the only thing that matters is the double"
Lc: *laughs, in tears, shaking his head in disbelief*
I: So no matter who is first and who is second?
At: Yeah, no, for me it didn't matter. That's also why I was so happy when Lucas finished and I ran at him and i yelled "LUCAS, DOUBLE!" and he said "NO WAY" *happy Atle noises*
Lc: Yeah, unbelievable
I: You also were in the same ski club when you were children, right?
Lc: Yeah since we were eleven we've been at Barum (?) Ski Club together and we've been working a lot and we're learning from our strong and our weak sides and then we come to the world cup together and today we win in Adelboden together
(A/N: there's a lot of very sus glances through this entire thing and Lucas does not once so much as hint removing uis arm around Atle's shoulder but the look they gave each other at that moment has no straight explanation. That's love right there!)
I: You also have to keep in mind what happened here, you both got injured in Adleboden two years ago and now you're standing here together.
At: Yeah it's definitely a revenge for 2021 when we both injured our knees, both with nasty crashes. But today, (we got) the revenge - all is good. Finally we're friends with Adelboden.
I: Are you (Lucas) also friends with Adelboden now?
Lc: Ah, it's a love-hate relationship you know? The GS is tough but today we had a win and a second place in the slalom so next year...
At: Yeah, both days will be good days!
