Snowboarder (17) falls asleep and wins gold

amsterdam - The American snowboarder Red Gerard is only 17 years old, but already has a golden medialle. And that even after he got lost and forgot his snowboard jacket...

Gerard had to be awakened on his big day by his roommate, American athlete Kyle Mack. The teenager would have watched Netflix a bit too long the night before, that's how the story goes. In a hurry the 17-year-old could not find his coat, but again his roommate helped him out of the fire. Gerard hurried to the track, where he appeared perfectly in time.
