The snow began to fall on the final night of Winter X Games 14, giving the perfect back drop to Kevin Rolland's gold medal performance in his second run.


The Skiing SuperPipe gold medal run included a double flip with a mute grab, an alley-oop 360, a double flair left to a double flair right and concluded with a double cork 1260 - an amazing three double flips - scoring a 95.00 and the victory.


"I can't believe it," an ecstatic Rolland said. "It is huge, it is amazing and a dream come true. I have never landed three doubles. I am so happy; this is such a good feeling. I won the X Games, this is a dream come true."

Second place went to New Zealand's Jossi Wells with a score of 92.00.


"I am happy with how I skied," Wells said. "I was most excited about my double flip and I couldn't be more stoked for second place right now."


France was not only represented in first place, but third place as well with Rolland's fellow countryman and last year's gold medalist, Xavier Bertoni, grabbing the bronze.


The Skiing SuperPipe event at the Winter X Games represents the progression of the sport and showcases the best pipe riders in the world. The 567-foot long, 22-foot deep "U-shaped" SuperPipe is 66 feet from lip-to-lip with a pitch of 18 degrees. This translates into maximum amplitude and speed for the athletes to perform their tricks.
