American Freeskier Alex Ferreira Completes His Olympic Medal Collection With Halfpipe Gold

Over a decade of trying and getting oh-so-close, American freeskier Alex Ferreira twirled his pole above his head knowing that he had done the best he could to finally become an Olympic gold medalist.

Moments later, after his rivals had failed to better his top score, Ferreira celebrated the completion of his medal collection with his family and friends on Friday, when he won the men's halfpipe final on a frosty night in the Italian Alps.

His first gold medal at age 31 came after Ferreira took silver in Pyeongchang 2018 and the bronze four years ago in Beijing.

“He said he needed to finish the rainbow. He had the silver, the bronze and he needed the gold,” Alex’s mother, Colleen Ferreira, told The Associated Press.

“He was driven. A year ago, he said he was going to do this, and he did it.”
