Kneigett has suffered two previous accidents, having suffered fires in his home in January 2019, with varying degrees of burns to his face, chest, legs and feet, and shortly after he collided with a forklift in an accident, seriously injuring his left leg.
In October 2019, Kneiget returned to the ice rink and began preparing for his comeback. At the 2020 Dordrecht Short Track World Championships, Kneigert competed in the 1500m, 1000m and 5000m relays.
"My biggest motivation is to prove to the world that I can get back to the best level of competition," Knegert said, "I spent a lot of time recovering after the injury, I am very happy to get to this point today, I am currently training every day and looking forward to playing better in future games." ”
At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Kneigert won the bronze medal in the men's 1000m. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, he won the silver medal in the 1500m.
