2007 World Halfpipe Bronze Medallist.
Five-time World Cup circuit medallist.

Interesting Fact: Was extremely young – only 16 months old – when he was first on skis. His brother and father both snowboarded and it looked like fun, so Martin switched sports at age eight.

Chances: This is his third Olympic Games, having finished 16^th in 2006 and 23^rd in 2010. Expect Martin to be around those numbers again in Sochi.
