Patrick Burgener, better known as Pat Burgener, (born 1 June 1994) is a professional Swiss snowboarder, two-time Olympian and musician. Pat joined the Swiss national team at age 14 and landed the world’s first Switch Backside Triple Cork 1440 in April 2011.[1] Pat competed for Switzerland in the men's halfpipe at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang where he finished 5th overall.[2] He earned two bronze medals in the halfpipe events at the FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships 2017 and again in 2019. His career results include also nine World Cup podiums, four European Cup podiums and six Swiss Champion titles respectively in halfpipe and big air.[3] Pat was selected the second time for the Swiss Olympic snowboard team on 18 January 2022 and remains focused on preparing to represent Switzerland in the men’s halfpipe at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.[4][5][6]

In addition to professional snowboarding, Pat has also been pursuing a parallel career in music since 2014. The singer-songwriter has released four EPs so far: The Route (2018), Icar (2019), Better Man (2020) and California Sun (2021). With over 4.2 million streams on Spotify, the song "Staring At The Sun" from the 2019 EP Icar remains Pat’s most listened-to track to date.[7] He was commissioned to write the 2020 Swiss Press Song for the 2020 Swiss Press Awards.[8] Pat was named the SRF 3 Best Talent for August 2021, an award through which the Swiss Radio and Television honours up-and-coming music acts from Switzerland.[9] He has performed solo or with his band at various festivals and venues across Switzerland, including the Montreux Jazz Festival, Zermatt Unplugged, Sion sous les étoiles, Gurtenfestival, Caribana Festival, Kaufleuten and others.[10] Pat has also performed in New York City and has been featured in Swiss Live Talents Showcases at Mondo.NYC, New York’s Annual Music, Arts & Technology Conference & Showcase Festival.[11] Pat's mother tongue is French and he also speaks fluent English and Swiss German.[12]
