Redmond Gerard, an Olympic gold medalist in snowboarding, secured his place in history at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, where he clinched a gold medal in men’s slopestyle at just 17 years old. This landmark achievement made him the youngest American snowboarder to win an Olympic medal and the first U.S. athlete to earn gold at those Games. Gerard transitioned to the professional circuit in 2016 after a successful amateur career that began in 2011.

Beyond the competitive slopes, Gerard has expanded his influence into backcountry snowboarding, filming creative projects, and collaborating on films such as ‘Joy’ with fellow accomplished snowboarders Sage Kotsenburg and Ben Ferguson. This versatility across competitive and creative realms earned him a nomination for Snowboarder Magazine’s Rider of the Year. Throughout his distinguished career, Gerard has amassed an impressive total of 8 gold, 8 silver, and 4 bronze medals across Olympic Games, Winter X Games, and World Cup events, alongside four career slopestyle World Cup wins and 13 career podium finishes. This includes notable third-place World Cup event finishes at Edmonton and Copper Big Air events.

Redmond Gerard continues to be a leading figure in snowboarding, consistently performing at the sport’s highest levels. He solidified this position with a gold medal in slopestyle at X Games Aspen in 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, Gerard is slated for a competitive year, with anticipated second-place finishes in slopestyle at both the Laax Open and the Calgary World Cup, alongside another expected gold medal in slopestyle at X Games Aspen. He remains a key representative for various brands, including his role as a spokesperson for the Toyota Motor Corporation, further solidifying his impact on the sport’s culture and commercial landscape.
