On February 8, 2022, Austrian star Matthias Bergeron was born in the world. Meier won the gold medal in the men's super slalom at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, defending the winter olympic title. Meier said: "It's a wonderful feeling. ”
Siegel, the American who won the silver medal, said that the project is indeed very intense, and he must seize every opportunity, strive for the victory of every competition, and enjoy the game, be careful with himself, and dare to compete with the best players. He said: "It's a great honor to be on the podium, and it's very interesting to play with Meier and Kielder. ”
You know, Meier's father was the men's super slalom champion at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, and his father's influence was deeply rooted. Meier said: "It is true that the influence of my family made me fall in love with skiing. Meier also likes mountain biking, which is related to the geography of Austria, of course, skiing is inseparable from the mountains. Until the age of 17, Meier had been training professionally with his father, and then Meier began to participate in the World Cup alone, and his father stopped teaching him.
After winning the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Meier did not know whether he would be able to participate in the Winter Olympics again next time. Meier said: "The Winter Olympics are so special, it is completely different from each season's World Cup, and only here can you enjoy the top-level event experience. ”
Meier sighed: "Since participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, I have stood on the podium twice. I think all the opponents are very strong, our snowboard level is very top-notch, the equipment is great, but the key is still the athletes themselves, the top brand of equipment is not the most important determinant. ”
Participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics impressed Meier. He said: "I have performed very well this week and I am very happy to be in China. When I was training here, I felt very windy, and it was estimated that the wind was also very strong on the day of the game. The timing of the change, this is a very clear decision, so that our players do not have to worry about the wind speed, but focus on the race. Everyone performed very well, and there was not much difference between the masters. Norway's Kilde started very well, I had to rush back and I did. ”
At present, Meier has joined the top heroes of alpine skiing in Austrian history. He said: "I also had idols when I was a child, of course not my father, but other masters. I've been able to meet them in past races and learn a lot of useful things from them, and I've been honored. Now, maybe I'm calling my idol for many kids again, and I'm going to do better. The time of the Beijing Winter Olympics is so wonderful for me. ”
