Mat Ligocki is the only Polish athlete to compete at WX in 2012. He's been at WX two previous years (best finish 18th in 2011). After tearing his left ACL in January 2009, it became a struggle just to get named to the 2010 Polish Olympic Team. The 28-year-old was stressed and lost weight and strength, ultimately finishing 29th in snowboard cross at the Vancouver Games. During his first trip to the Olympics (2006), he qualified in both snowboard cross and halfpipe. Mat comes from an Olympic family; two of his family members, brother Michal and cousin Paulina, competed in halfpipe.
