Notes

Damaged ski helmet worn by Mathilde GREMAUD (SUI) Sarah HÖFFLIN (gold) and Mathilde GREMAUD (silver) achieved the first-ever one-two placing for the French-speaking Swiss athletes in Olympic history, in the ski slopestyle event. But this fairy-tale ending might easily never have happened for Mathilde: On the Friday before the heats and the final, the skier from Gruyères suffered a serious fall during training. As the ambulance raced to the casualty department for a head scan, the Swiss team held their breath... Shaken but not hurt, a relieved Mathilde could go on to win a medal the next day. PyeongChang 2018 – helmet belonging to Mathilde GREMAUD (SUI), silver medallist in the skiing slopestyle. In slopestyle, 18-year-old Mathilde Gremaud won silver despite her fall during a training session – the evidence of which can be seen on her helmet. Athlete donation
