Big Air Icon Henrik Harlaut Wins His First Slopestyle Gold At X Games




Henrik Harlaut is a Big Air legend. What people forget is the eccentric Swedish skier finished sixth in slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and has a 2013 X Games silver medal in slopestyle. However, all five of his X Games gold medals before Sunday came in Ski Big Air, including his win on Saturday, and he still felt he needed to prove himself in slopestyle. "Since I only had gold in Big Air, there has been a lot of media, especially in Sweden, that is like, 'Oh, Henrik is only a Big Air skier and is having trouble with slopestyle,'" Harlaut said. "That just gave me extra motivation and spark to show them wrong in a way."
