Vic Wild is one of the most popular and richest Snowboarder who was born on August 23, 1986 in White Salmon, Washington State, United States. Russian-American snowboarder who took home Gold medals at the Parallel Slalom and the Parallel Giant Slalom in the 2014 Winter Olympics. His feat was the first snowboarder in history to be awarded two medals in two Olympic Games.
Both he and Swiss Iouri the Podladtchikov have both been Olympic champions in snowboarding for men.
Wild originally competed for the United States, but after the 2010 Winter Olympics, the United States Ski and Snowboard Association shut down its alpine snowboarding program. According to a 2014 story by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, Wild had been viewed by US snowboarding officials “as an enfant terrible, someone who didn’t understand alpine’s place in the [USA] snowboarding power structure. Halfpipe is king, with slopestyle creeping up in importance, and snowboardcross racing third.” One of Wild’s former coaches indicated that before its closure, the alpine snowboarding program had a budget of $135,000, a fraction of the funding needed for an internationally competitive team. This is mainly caused by the fact that the United States remains the only country in the world not to fund its Olympic Committee, that is why available funding is limited.
Instead of ending his career, Wild opted to leave the country; when he married Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina in 2011, Wild applied for Russian citizenship.
He got married to the snowboarder Alena Zavarzina in 2011. His brother is a soccer athlete Mike Wild.
