Bitter! Olympic champion misses Turkey comeback
Alessandro Hämmerle had to miss the snowboard cross season opener in Cervinia (Italy) in mid-December due to back problems. On his comeback in China, "Izzi" then landed on the podium again straight away. But now the Olympic champion from Beijing 2022 has suffered his next setback.

"I must have caught something somewhere, a real bug."
After missing the opening race in Cervinia at the start of the season due to problems with a sliding vertebra, the 31-year-old from Vorarlberg finished second and fifth at the World Cup in Beidahu, China, at the end of January and beginning of February. At the night race in Cortina - which produced very surprising results - "Izzi" then finished in eleventh place.
At the comeback of the Snowboard World Cup in Erzurum, Turkey - he had not raced there for seven years - the Montafon native wanted to get back on the podium. "The course is very twisty, but I had a lot of fun riding here in training," said Hämmerle. "Unfortunately, illness has now got in the way."
