The World's First Olympic Slopestyle Gold Medalist.
Sage Kotsenberg is an Olympic snowboarder who has a long line of TV appearances and publicity ahead of him. Sage was the first American Olympian to win a gold medal in Sochi, and the first person ever to win a gold medal in slopestyle. He made his first U.S open debut at the age of 12. When he was 16, he won the silver in slopestyle at the European X Games in 2010. He was the first one to land a "cab double cork 1440" in February 2011. He then went on to take third place at the 2011 Arctic Challenge. Later that year, he was named to the U.S Snowboarding Slopestyle Pro Team in December. At the Winter X Games XVI in 2012, Sage won the silver. Sage seemed to be desperate for Gold once he got in the Olympics as he attempted a trick he had never tried before. Along with the trick he had never attempted before, his run also featured his signature trick which was called "The Holy Crail".
