Jan Scherrer (born 11 July 1994) is a Swiss snowboarder. He is a three-time Olympian, representing Switzerland at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyongchang and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[1] He placed third to win the bronze medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Career

[edit]

Scherrer was born in Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann, Switzerland.[2] He began snowboarding at age 7 in 2001 and began competing in the 2002-2003 season.[3]

In his first Olympic showing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Scherrer finished the qualification in 9th place of the 2nd heat, qualifying him to the semifinal. However, he suffered a right ankle injury and pulled out of the semifinal, and thus did not compete in the final.[4][5]

At the 2018 Pyongchang Olympics, finished the qualifier in 6th place with a score of 84.00, and finished in 9th place with a score of 80.50 in the final.[6][7]

In Scherrer's third Olympic appearance at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, he claimed the bronze medal with a final score of 87.25.[8]

Scherrer also landed podium finishes in major competitions including a silver and bronze medal in the superpipe at the 2023 and 2020 X Games in Aspen, Colorado, respectively.[9][10][11] He also secured a bronze medal in the halfpipe at the 2021 and 2023 World Championships in Aspen, Colorado, and Bakuriani, Georgia.[12][13]

Personal life

[edit]

Scherrer has a wife, named Sasha, and a daughter, named Sienna, who was born in May 2022. Scherrer, who had not won a medal in any of his previous Olympic showings, agreed that if he were to win a medal at the 2022 Olympics, he would get a tattoo of his wife's choosing, a bet that he lost with his bronze medal win in the competition. He followed through with the bet in October of that year, getting a tattoo drawn by his wife.[14][15]
