His surprising Olympic victory in 1998 made him famous. What's less well known is that since then he not only became world champion but is also one of the most consistent snowboarders at the moment. Last year he took the title at the freestyle.ch in an exciting final. On Sunday he also scored victory in the Best Trick Contest. There's no doubt about it, freestyle.champ Gian Simmen is the "Man to beat" at the Big Air.
