Eguibar and Romero have not crossed the quarter-finals and octaves, respectively
Romero has stressed that he is "happy" with the descent but "not with the result." For his part, Eguibar has suffered a fall after one of his rivals closed the road. "I know these things can happen, but he must know that this cannot be done," said the Donostiarra angrily.
The Donostiarras Lucas Eguibar and Alvaro Romero in the octave round.
Donostiarra rider Lucas Eguibar has not been able to compete for the medals of the boardercross snowboard of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy) after falling in the quarterfinals, while donostiarra Alvaro Romero has been eliminated in octaves.
"In the end, we all want more, more and more," he admits. "But I'm in my first Games, getting experience; in an event that's awesome, it's amazing... with my whole family here, so we have to be happy," he adds. "Now there's four years left for the next Games, so I can keep working and learning," he adds.
Eguibar has also been unlucky in his fourth Games and has not been able to qualify for the semi-finals, precisely when he has been aggressive and one of his rivals has closed the road and gone to the ground. The judges have expelled the rider that caused the fall, but that has not given too much comfort to the 2021 world champion either.
Egibar has only needed the first drop in the ranking to mark the 12th best time with 1: 08.97. Romero, for his part, has noticed the nervousness of his debut Olympic and has had to make a second descent .
Incidentally, the two times of the Guipuzcoans have placed them in the first round of the 8th finals, along with dangerous rivals such astheFrench Loan Bozzolo (current world runner-up) and theAustralian Adam Lambert (World Cup leader).
Eguibar has faced this circumstance well, as he has stuck to Bozzolo's head thanks to a good exit, while Romero hasnot been able to overcome and has finished third ahead of Lambert.
In the quarter-finals, Eguibar has faced Bozzolo, his 17-year-old compatriot, Jonas Chollet, and Nathan Mare , the 21-year-old American .
Eguibar has fallen to fourth place, but he has resisted and has had to wait for his moment to catch up with his rivals. The Guipuzcoan has regained his chances, but then he has opened up and Mare has crossed over to him in the worst way in his career.
The American has lost control of the back of his board, and the Donostiarra has finished onthe ground, while his opponent has won, but Marie has had little joy, as soon after the judges have left him out of the competition for what he did to Eguibar.

I know these things can happen, but I'm angry because we're professionals, because we know what we're doing, and he needs to know that that can't be done.
"I know these things can happen, but I'm angry because we're professionals, because we know what we're doing, and he has to know that that can't be done," Eguibar said after the race. "In fact, on the third curve I could have done the same thing; but I haven't done it, first because it's illegal; and second because I don't like to compete like that," he said.
In the medal final, Austrian Alesssandro Haemmerle has won gold, as he did four years ago in Beijing. Swiss Eliot Grondin has been silver\u00A0 and Austrian Jakob Dusek (world champion in 2023) has been bronze.
