Sébastien Toutant

Sébastien Toutant is a Canadian snowboarder born on 9 November 1992 in Repentigny, Quebec. He took up snowboarding at the age of nine after breaking his skis and borrowing his brother's old board, and he won the Shakedown competition in Quebec at thirteen. He won the slopestyle gold medal at the Winter X Games in 2011 and again in 2013, and across the X Games he has five medals in slopestyle and big air. He made his Olympic debut at the 2014 Winter Olympics, finishing ninth in slopestyle at Sochi. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang he won the gold medal in men's big air, the first Olympic champion of an event making its Games debut, while competing with a compressed disc in his back. He was named to the Canadian team again for the 2022 Games in Beijing. The account here rests on his English Wikipedia article, with the Olympedia athlete page as a second source.
