Red Gerard

Redmond Gerard, known as Red Gerard, was born on 29 June 2000 and is an American snowboarder who was raised in Ohio and lives in Silverthorne, Colorado, where he has a miniature snowboarding park with a rope tow in his backyard. He placed first overall in slopestyle in the 2016 to 2017 FIS Snowboard World Cup and has won slopestyle World Cup events at Mammoth in 2017, 2019 and 2022 and at Snowmass. At the 2018 Winter Olympics he won the slopestyle gold medal, becoming the first Winter Olympics medalist born in the 2000s, the first American gold medalist of those Games and the youngest American to medal in a snowboarding event at the Olympics; the win was widely remembered because he had overslept that morning and borrowed a teammate's jacket. At the 2022 Winter Olympics he finished fourth in slopestyle and fifth in big air. He has won three X Games medals in slopestyle, a bronze in 2020 and golds in 2024 and 2025, and his sister Tieghan Gerard is the food blogger behind Half Baked Harvest.
