ski jumper simon ammann was one of the least expected winners of the salt lake city winter games. when he was 16 years old, he competed at the 1998 nagano olympics, placing 35th in the normal hill event and 39th on the large hill. ammann entered the 2002 olympics without ever having won a world cup event. his best result ever on the normal hill was 26th place. nevertheless, at the salt lake city games, he put together two superb jumps to edge sven hannawald for the victory by one and a half points. four days later, ammann proved that his victory was not a fluke by earning a second gold medal on the large hill. this time he recorded the best jump in each round to win by more than 11 points.

在盐湖城冬奥会上，西蒙• 阿曼是最不被看好的金牌争夺者之一。1998年长野冬奥会上，年仅16岁的西蒙第一次参加冬奥会，他在一般跳台项目上名列第35，在高跳台项目中名列第 39。在参加盐湖城冬奥会前，他没有获得任何一项世界冠军，他的最好成绩也是在一般跳台项目上名列第26位。但是在盐湖城冬奥会上，他让人知道了什么叫一鸣惊人，凭借两次超级跳，以1.5分的成绩压倒斯文•汉纳瓦尔德夺取一般跳台的金牌；四天后，西蒙又一次给人惊喜，并展现自己的超凡实力，在高跳台项目中，他再次获得金牌，这次，他每轮的表演都堪称完美，并最终领先第二名超过11分。
