Notes

Lausanne 2020, ski mountaineering skin used by Thibe DESEYN (SUI), gold and silver medallist at the YOG. Ski mountaineering became part of the Olympic family this year in Lausanne. This sport combines uphill climbs and downhill runs, so requires skiing and mountaineering skills plus endurance. The skins, which are nowadays synthetic, allow the skier to slide one way and brake the other. Donated by the athlete
