Kevin Rolland is a veteran of the extreme. With 12 medals to his name, the Frenchman has served his country and the sport of freestyle skiing well.
Rolland had already made a name for himself as a freestyle skier when he had a brutal crash at the Winter X-Games in finals of the Ski SuperPipe, costing him his third gold in a row. In 2014, he came in third in the Halfpipe—bringing home a bronze for France. Despite a setback at the Winter X-Games this year (he placed eighth), the video below would suggest Rolland has enough talent and grit to make it back to the podium at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.
