Here’s my number, call me, maybe?’

Russian snowboarder Alexey Sobolev1

‘ Russian Olympic snowboarder receives thousands of texts and some VERY indecent proposals after writing his cell phone number on his helmet

Here’s hoping Russian snowboarder Alexey Sobolev has unlimited texting on his phone.

Sobolev competed in slopestyle qualifying on Thursday with his cellphone number written on his helmet.

It was his idea of trying to get through what he called the boredom of the athletes’ village on the mountain. Sobolev says he has received more than 2,000 texts since then.

Olympic rules prevent Sobolev from competing with his number on his helmet in the finals on Saturday.

As far as he’s concerned, his mission is already accomplished: ‘Everyone already knows my number.’

Sobolev’s stunt didn’t last long, however, as in the semi-final round the number had been covered up.
