Yesterday, the men's steeplechase for snowboarding at the Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end, with Austria's Alessandro Hemmerer winning the championship, Canada's Elliott Glendin runner-up and Italy's Omar Vicentin winning the bronze medal. After the game, Hemmerer said: "I was very upset that I didn't reach the final at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and there was nothing I could do at that time. But today I won the gold medal and I feel like it's a redemption for me. Secondly, this gold medal is very important for our Austrian team and I hope that everyone will continue to work hard. ”
Alessandro Hemmer, 28 years old, is a veteran of the three dynasties of the Winter Olympics. He finished 17th at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and seventh at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. He is currently ranked second in the World Cup table, winning the World Cups at Chongli and Austria this season, fifth in Italy and ninth in Russia. Including the 2021/2022 season, he has been ranked in the top three of the World Cup overall results for seven consecutive seasons, and has been the overall champion of the world cup in the past three seasons, and has been on the World Cup podium 25 times in his career, including 14 times.
