Many hopes surrounded his race after his double gold medal at the World Championships.
Absent four years ago from the Paralympic Games due to a torn ACL, the Azuréen Maxime Montaggioni finished far from the podium in snowboard cross in Beijing.
The five-time world champion in snowboarding was eliminated in the quarter-finals, this Monday, March 7, after finishing third in his race at Genting Snow Park.
However, not all is lost for Maxime Montaggioni, who still has to compete in the Banked Slalom on March 12.
