Spanish student and athlete Audrey Pascal Seco is the 29th recipient of the annual Baumgarten Award. The international recognition is in honor of the late Matteo Baumgarten, who was a promising skier and brilliant student.<\/p>\n
The prestigious award was established by his parents as a way of commemorating their son and recognizing young athletes who embody Matteo\u2019s dedication to both academics and sport.<\/p>\n
In winning this accolade, Audrey joins a long list of distinguished past recipients, including last year\u2019s victor Zrinka Ljuti\u0107 (CRO).<\/p>\n
It has been a whirlwind 12 months for the 21-year-old, who made her Paralympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026 earlier this year. She earned a four-medal haul in Alpine sit-skiing \u2013 a gold in the Super-G and the Super-Combined, a silver in Downhill, and a bronze in Slalom.<\/p>\n
Audrey\u2019s emphatic form on the biggest stage of all came just a month after rounding out her best-ever season, coming second in the overall World Cup standings, topping all but one \u2013 Slalom \u2013 individual events across the 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spanish student and athlete Audrey Pascal Seco is the 29th recipient of the annual Baumgarten Award.
