Red Gerrard- Snowboarding

So, we don’t really need to update you on this Olympian because he’s huge news right now. At just 17 years old, Red Gerrard became the first American to win gold in the 2018 Winter Olympics. However, that is not why everyone was talking about him. Actually, he went viral because he fell asleep to Netflix the night before, then woke up late Saturday morning. He couldn’t find his own jacket and had to borrow his roommate’s! Oh and after an outstanding run with extra style points awarded, he cursed on television as his score went up. People cannot get over this incredible teen! Hilarious!
