Notes

PyeongChang 2018 – pair of jumping skis signed by Simon AMMANN (SUI), and the blanket used to keep him warm. Simon Amman was the first ski jumper in history to achieve an Olympic double twice, becoming the most decorated Swiss Olympian of all time. In PyeongChang, while the competition was disrupted by the wind and cold, he moved the spectators who saw him shivering for a good 10 minutes at the top of the jump, protected somewhat by a blanket held by an official.
