Contents

Sobolev qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics where he finished in the 20th place in the men's slopestyle, being eliminated in the semifinal. [2]

He garnered attention because his board might have referenced the band Pussy Riot [3] and because his helmet had his iPhone's telephone number printed on the side until he was forced to cover it up by officials. [4]
