In 2018, Denise Feierabend, Wendy Holdener, Ramon Zenhäusler, Daniel Yule and Luca Aerni celebrated the gold medal. In addition, the Swiss skateboarding team triumphed at the VR World Championships in 2019. Andrea Ellenberger, Holdner, Camille Rast, Ernie, Gino Caviezel and Justin Maurizier were signed up this year.
• Austria: Our eastern neighbors had to settle for second place in Pyeongchang and R. So you literally have to burn for revenge. They are led by the parallel world giant slalom champion Katharina Linsberger.
• Norway: As world champion (in Cortina 2021), Norway is also a hot medal contender in Beijing. In addition, the Norwegians have been on the Olympic podium for 4 years. In addition, the Scandinavian team should take advantage of the fact that the race will be held with giant slalom gates.
