Notes

Beijing 2022, ski signed by Birk RUUD (NOR), Olympic freestyle skiing big air champion. The Norwegian freestyle skier won the first men’s event in big air, a new Olympic discipline in Beijing in 2022. Unlike the aerials, big air allows athletes to give free rein to their imagination. Ruud showed as much on his last run. As the gold medal was already in the bag, he dazzled the crowd with a brilliant 1440 holding the Norwegian flag! Donated by the athlete
