What does a 23 yr old , married, father of a 1yr old daughter, do in his spare time? He trains for the Olympics, of course. With some of the best skiing in the world less than an hour away, David Wise of Reno, Nevada, put his time to good use. He trained for the new event:freestyle skiing in the large half pipe course. A gold medal winner in the X Games event, he parlayed that effort into Olympic gold at Sochi. With difficult tricks and smooth delivery, he received high marks that became the score to beat. With his wife in the stands, he delivered another medal for the American team, edging out 2 skiers from Canada and France.
Nice work, David. I'm sure his daughter, home with Grandma in Reno, is very proud.
