Numerous well-wishers - including Nicole Schmidhofer, Lindsey Vonn and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde - have commented on Braathen's posts.
The 24-year-old made history with his second place, the first time Brazil was represented on the Alpine World Cup podium.
Success with "my own path"
"I wanted to go my own way," says the technical specialist emotionally. He had taken a year off before switching from Norway's association to Brazil's. "It's indescribable how that feels. Leaving something you love behind and then coming back with a different perspective, which also helped me."
