Nah buddy , there's two Jon Olssons in the ski world. Quite confusing, especially since they're both Swedish. The REAL Jon Olsson is rumoured to be working on secret triples in the Scandinavian backcountry at present...

According to his website, he is a perfectionist.

the story goes that he made a bet with one of his buddies that he could get to the 2014 Olympics as a racer, so yes he currently is a racer, bet he is bummed that he could have just stayed freestlye skiing and would have had a chance in getting there anyway....

I'm fairly certain he plans on throwing a triple future spin in the race. He'll drastically reduce his time with this new technique.

Yes. He made a bet with some friends that he could get back into racing and make the 2014 Olympics as a racer. However, he knew that the current ski technology due to FIS's interference wouldn't allow him to compete at the highest level possible. He has teamed up with Oakley to make the Osama Pro's up to FIS's specs which will be debuted at next years world cup, then perfected by 2014's games.
