At the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, on February 14, American superstar Red Gerard will participate in the men’s snowboard big air qualification runs. See his daily itinerary down below.
Gerard aims to improve on his fifth-place finish in the competition in PyeongChang 2018. The Colorado native made international headlines four years ago on the slopes in the Republic of Korea when, at the age of just 17, he became the youngest snowboarder in history to win gold when he came in first place in slopestyle.

The little trickster was unable to repeat that achievement, finishing in fourth place in the slopestyle event in Beijing 2022, barely outside the medals. Gerard, who finished third in the qualification round, now gets a second chance at a medal in the large air.
Conclusion
Gerard got out to a fast start, putting down a magnificent 83.25 in his first round, which featured two 1620s. That was sufficient to win the round’s top position. Although Gerard’s legendary family, who once drank South Korea dry, was not present, his girlfriend, fellow snowboarder Hailey Langland, was, and she gave him a short embrace following his opening run.
Shortly later, Parrot’s gold-medal performance destroyed that lead.
Su, who was the clear audience favourite and was the same age as Gerard when Gerard grabbed the gold in PyeongChang, was the only spectator in attendance who had been approved by Chinese Olympic organisers.
In order to launch oneself down ramps at the edge of mountains, snowboarding requires a combination of speed, flexibility, imagination, skill, and utter, unwavering fearlessness. Snowboarding is one of the most difficult Winter Olympics sports.
