“Sochi’s first gold medal is like a dream, the second – I was like a machine, going full speed” – Vic Wilde

Snowboarder wild vic compared the emotions he experienced winning two gold medals at the Sochi Olympics.

Wilde, born in the United States, won the parallel giant slalom at the 2014 Olympics. At the Beijing Games, he finished third in the parallel giant slalom.

– Before the Olympics in Sochi, I did not think about anything extraneous, I was not distracted. I tried to get in shape, at that time I did not have high-profile successes, I focused on my performance.

I also remember the opening ceremony, which colorfully told the story of Russia.

I haven’t ridden the Olympic track much, about four days. At first I made mistakes, maybe it helped me later. The day I won the first gold medal, I was very calm, not nervous. I paid attention to the snow, I looked at the cover, I realized it wouldn’t be easy. I tried to concentrate, to control what was in my power, I performed to the maximum.

I remember the feeling two seconds before the victory. At that moment, I realized that I would become an Olympic champion, it’s a special feeling.

The first gold is like a dream, the second is other emotions. I was like a machine, I was going full speed, I was doing it more for myself. I knew that my victories were important not only for me, but also for Russia, it gave me composure,” Wild said on Tous pour le match!. on the channel.
