And in 2022, after 17 years of failure-all the crashes, injuries, and personal setbacks-he won Olympic gold at 40 years old, becoming the oldest Olympic snowboard medalist in history. Baumgartner details his journey from a one-stoplight town to the podium in Beijing in this candid and affable memoir. Tales of crisscrossing the globe on the racing circuit and competing in four Olympic Games sit comfortably alongside Baumgartner's reflections as a single parent and his affectionate portrayal of Iron River, Michigan, the community that raised him. 600 10 $a Baumgartner, Nick. 650 0 $a Snowboarders $v Biography. 650 0 $a Olympic athletes $v Biography. 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Winter Sports / Snowboarding. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Sports. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Seidel, Jeff, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240402012437.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95879BD0F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
