Austria’s Benjamin Karl reflects on his second gold medal
Austrian snowboarder Benjamin Karl raced to a second straight gold medal in the men’s parallel giant slalom on February 8 in the Italian Alpine town of Livigno, capping his glittering career on the slopes at his fifth Olympics.
To celebrate, Karl, 40, tore off his shirt and lay on his stomach in the snow, pumping his arms and shouting, which he wanted to do in homage to his idol, alpine skier Hermann Maier, also from Austria, who had once done the same.
“I waited 25 years for this pose,” Karl said, saying the idea came to him as a child.
