A Multifaceted Journey to Tremblant during the PwC World Cup - Coupe du monde Tremblant PwC

From the steep pitches at the top to the final push toward the finish, the Flying Mile asks athletes to adapt throughout their run. Its combination of technical terrain, speed and a finish surrounded by spectators makes it a natural stage for World Cup giant slalom racing. Let’s Break Down the Flying MileA giant slalom run on the Flying Mile is not the same from top to bottom. The terrain changes along the way, and each section brings its own challenge. For the athletes, the key is knowing when to attack, when to preserve speed and when to give it everything on the way to the finish. The Top: Precision Comes FirstThe race begins on some of the most demanding terrain of the Flying Mile. The upper pitches are steep and technical, with changes in angle that require athletes to be precise with their line and timing through the gates. A small mistake can quickly cost speed, making clean turns and control essential from the very first gates. The challenge is also about setting up the rest of the run. Athletes need to attack the steep section while building enough speed and momentum to carry into the flatter terrain below.

IntroductionCreativity, broadly defined as the ability to form novel and valuable ideas or to find new solutions to problems [1], has long been suggested to be associated with psychiatric disorders [2]. This idea is fueled by many anecdotal examples of famous creators with eccentric personalities and psychiatric problems, from Vincent van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway to Virginia Woolf and Camille Claudel [3]. More recently, research including some systematic reviews and meta-analyses, has suggested that creativity and engagement in creative activities are associated with an increased risk of mental health problems [4, 5]. For example, creative professions were associated with a higher risk of bipolar disorder [6], music playing with more psychosis-like experiences [7, 8], and artistic achievement with multiple mental disorders [9]. However, the literature shows inconsistencies. For example, Cuypers et al. [10] found music-related creative activities to be associated with better perceived mental health. Similarly, art-related cultural activities were associated with less depression in older adults [11] and more social well-being in young adults [12].

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is once again pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a US election - this time with the aim of helping Republicans maintain their control of Congress. Musk donated upwards of $200m (£150m) in the quarter that ended on 30 September, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reviewed by the BBC. The fillings were released with just over two weeks until the 2026 midterm election, where many races for the House of Representatives and Senate are close and Republicans risk losing their majorities in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Musk also put significant money, $290m, and effort into helping elect President Donald Trump and other Republicans in 2024. Here is where the richest person in the world has been donating this time around, and what it might mean for his businesses. Most of the donations went to one groupThe bulk of the money donated last quarter by the world's only trillionaire, $158m, went to the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) Pac, the filings showed. It is one of the largest publicly known single political donations in US history, and some have suggested it is the biggest ever.
