Despite never having won a World Cup event, Simon Amman claimed gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games. Competing in the K90, he produced two superb jumps to win a close contest by just one-and-a-half points. Four days later, Ammann proved to the world that his victory was no fluke. Now competing in the K120, he achieved the best jump in each round to win his second gold by more than 11 points.
