Alexei Grishin isn't even the best freestyle skier on his team. That honour goes to Anton Kushnir, who leads the World Cup and was a true favourite to take home gold in Vancouver. But a funny thing happened on the way to the podium - Kushnir fell down and did not get to the finals. So instead, Alexei Grishin became the first Belarusian athlete to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. Not a bad result for the 30-year-old who was competing in his fourth Olympics. “Some of my friends told me that a lot of people thought that Belarus had no hopes to win the Olympic Games. It's not true. There are more people on the team who can make it,” Grishin told reporters. To the music of Metallica's "Enter Sandman”, Grishin scored 248. 41 and that was enough on his final jump to best Jeret Peterson from the USA. After Peterson's amazing trick put him in first, Grishin thought, “I was up there and said to myself, 'I have to do it. ”” He did.
