Snowboarder Alex Deibold’s 2018 Winter Olympics Playlist: Motley Crue, Dropkick Murphys, Led Zeppelin & More
Alex Deibold, 31, has some unfinished business at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The 31-year-old snowboarder, who first hopped on skis when he was just 2 years old and started snowboarding at age 4, nearly made Team USA in 2010, only to just miss the cut. But, undeterred, he stormed back four years later at the 2014 games in Sochi, where he took home a bronze medal in the men’s snowboardcross event.
Since then, he’s been training as hard as he can to land on the medal stand again — that is, when he’s not mountain biking, backpacking, rock climbing, surfing or working at the Sports Garage bike shop in Boulder, Colorado, in the off-season.

Deibold sent Billboard his training playlist before jetting off to Pyeongchang, admitting that it is a little “all over the place.” And he wasn’t kidding — from old-school metal by the likes of Motorhead and Motley Crue to new-school rock from White Buffalo and Deer Tick, Alex has the perfect combo on lock. Plus, he’s clearly the kind of teammate you want, because he even included a song by his fellow Team USA boarder Hagen Kearney’s band Kapix.
