With her doublecork under her belt, Anna Gasser duly headed to the Olympics. There, she dropped in before she was meant to, giving her coach a chance to become a star in his own right – though not, perhaps in the way he might have anticipated.

Nothing says “I don’t give a fuck” like doing something completely unexpected…
