Notes

Ski poles used by Ramon ZENHÄUSERN (SUI), Olympic champion and silver medallist After winning a silver medal in the slalom and gold in the parallel slalom team event, Ramon ZENHÄUSERN carried the flag for Switzerland at the Closing Ceremony. His height (two metres) would seem to be a handicap for tight slalom turns, but for him it is a point of honour to make it an asset: "The experts say that being tall is a disadvantage, but I try to prove them wrong."
