Nico Portios won the championship.
This morning (19th), in the men's U-shaped track skill competition of freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics, New Zealand's Nico Portios won the gold medal with a score of 93.00 points, and the United States' David Wise and Alex Ferreira won the silver and bronze medals with 90.75 points and 86.75 points, respectively.
This is New Zealand's second gold medal at the Winter Olympics. After the end of the competition, the freestyle skiing project of the Beijing Winter Olympics was successfully completed.
Interestingly, Nico's older brother Miguel Portius also appeared in the final of the men's U-shaped track skills final in freestyle skiing, finishing 11th with 63.50 points.
According to the official website of the Winter Olympics, Nico was born in November 2001 and is 20 years old this year; Miguel was born in May 1999 and is 22 years old this year.
The brothers celebrate together.
According to New Zealand media reports, the brothers only recently arrived in Beijing by plane, and with the shape of "suit + briefcase", they received a wave of attention at the airport.
It turned out that they had been preparing for the war in Switzerland and did not get the New Zealand team uniform, so the brothers decided to buy a suit at a second-hand shop and change it on the plane. On the same flight, there were other Winter Olympic players who competed in the last week of competition.
Nico said they caught the attention of their opponents when they showed up at the airport in suits and each with a briefcase. "The look in their eyes as they looked at us was full of question marks. They all wore their national team uniforms, and we all wore suits and briefcases. ”
Miguel reportedly even had cash in his briefcase, which Nico had empty because he had no intention of "going back empty-handed."
