Notes

Beijing 2022, helmet worn by Ashleigh CALDWELL (USA), Olympic freestyle skiing mixed team aerials champion. Ashley Caldwell’s winterthemed helmet was devised by Shayna White, a graphic designer at Wildhorn. The birds evoke freedom, a value dear to the athlete, who is one of the brand’s ambassadors and who feels “more comfortable in the air than on the ground”. These four birds reflect the four Olympic Games in which she has competed. The last one was added after she won gold in the mixed event. The imagery on the helmet also includes a ramp for the jumps, mountains and the ocean – her favourite places – as well as the US flag. Donated by the athlete
