David Speiser started for Germany in 2006 at the Olympic Games in snowboard cross . In August 2003 the man from Obersdorf was struggling with a dislocation of the kneecap. He could not do sports for three months and was in severe pain. A year later, his knee was still sore, but he was able to train for the Olympics again. In the 2005/06 season he was healthy again and qualified for the Olympic Games in December 2005 by placing 5th at the Snowboard World Cup in Whistler.
