President of the Russian Snowboard Federation Denis Tikhomirov intends to offer two-time Olympic champion Vic Wild a coaching position in the national snowboard cross team. This was announced by the head of the federation "Match TV".
“I have an interesting proposal for Vik on further work, we will discuss it with him. My opinion is that I don't think he needs to race for very long. In terms of fitness techniques, in terms of motivational work, he might need to try something with boardcross. We will move in this direction. Will we offer him to become a national team coach? Let's see, yes," Tikhomirov said.
Russian snowboarder Wild won bronze at the Olympics 2022 Olympics Wild won two golds at the 2014 Sochi Games in parallel giant slalom. Eight years later, at the Beijing Olympics, the 35-year-old took bronze in the parallel giant slalom.
After winning the bronze, Wild swore obscenely on Match TV, and also announced his retirement, but later, in a conversation with reporters, he noted that he had not yet made a final decision.
Wild moved from Team USA to Team Russia in 2012. He decided to apply for Russian citizenship after marrying Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina, who won a bronze medal in parallel giant slalom at the Sochi Games. In December 2021, the couple announced their divorce.
Wild is the only snowboarder to win two gold medals at the same Olympics, and the only Russian snowboarder in history to win gold at the Games. He also won bronze at the 2013 World Championships.
