Baumgartner became the oldest gold medal winner across all the events in snowboarding, making him an absolute legend. Moreover, for an experienced competitor like him, it was incredible to be able to grab his first gold as he talked about the experience.
“That’s something about being the veterans … we’ve had so many heats under our belt that we have to ride so close to people, and in conditions like this, the draft is so important and you have to be able to stay in it until the absolute possible last second. That doesn’t scare us because we’ve done it so many times,” said Baumgartner.
He won his first ever Olympic gold and does a mean Will Ferrell, definitely, a positive couple of days for the American.
