Mens Freestyle Skiing: Clyde Getty (Argentina)

Pride of Argentina soars with winning spirit
Mens Freestyle Skiing: Clyde Getty (Argentina)
Born in 1962 in the United States of America. Age 47
Clyde Getty was the oldest ski contender. His performance was not a difficult one but he missed his landing, hit his face hard on the snow and his skis came off from both legs. He finished last. Still, Clyde waved to the crowd that cheered for him, swung his helmet around and even blew a kiss.
Clyde was born in 1962 to Argentinian parents in the United States. After becoming a member of the US Freestyle Skiing Team in the 1990s, he changed his citizenship to Argentina and has since qualified in 2 Olympic Games. He usually spends his time living in Boulder, Colorado, with his loving wife, 3 dogs, 3 parakeets surrounded by nature. He has a great sense of humor, but also an aggressive obsession towards his sport, The word retirement does not exist in my dictionary, and a strong love for his country, The Argentinian made in USA.
