Redmond "Red" Gerard (born June 29, 2000) is an American snowboarder and a spokesperson of the Toyota Motor Corporation.[2] [3] [4] Gerard was born and raised in Ohio, but lives in Silverthorne, Colorado, where he has his own miniature snowboarding park in his backyard with a rope tow.[5]
Gerard competed in the slopestyle and big air events for the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics. In slopestyle, Gerard won the gold medal for his performance. This performance itself was rather famous for the events surrounding Gerard; he had overslept in his hotel room after partying late and binge-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix, lost his jacket, was forced to borrow his roommate's jacket, and accidentally used profanity on live TV after his win.[6] He became the first Winter Olympics medalist born in the 2000s. Gerard was also the first American gold medalist in the 2018 Winter Olympics and the youngest American to medal in a snowboarding event at the Olympics.[7] The 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic winter games was his first time competing in the Olympics. The February 6, 2018, issue of Sports Illustrated predicted Gerard would win the gold medal.
Gerard's sister is food blogger Tieghan Gerard from Half Baked Harvest.
