Wallisch Wins his First Winter X Games GoldThe 22-year-old from Pittsburgh, PA, made his first Winter X Games appearance in Aspen just last month competing in Big Air and Slopestyle finishing seventh and eighth, respectively.
Today in the Skiing Slopestyle final in Tignes, France, only one point separated Tom Wallisch and USA’s Bobby Brown. Wallisch went all out and landed himself his first Winter X Games gold.
“I always wanted to do well at a huge event like the Winter X Games,” Wallisch said today after his win. More known in the ski industry as a filmer rather than a contest rider, Wallisch even surprised himself today. “This is just incredible to come out here, participate in the first Winter X Games Europe and do well”
Breckenridge, CO, resident, Bobby Brown, is no stranger to Winter X Games medals. Just last month at Winter X Games 14, Brown claimed gold in both Skiing Big Air and Slopestyle. Today at Winter X Games Europe, he settled for silver. Jossi Wells of New Zealand took home the bronze.
Six Countries were represented in the eight-man field: Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and USA.
