Imagine being a parent, and your child just won a gold medal on the biggest sports stage on the planet?
Could you even imagine the excitement?
Your child’s been grinding their whole life at a sport, and it’s resulted in being better than anybody on Earth… something to talk about, I’d say. Maybe even something that would make you want to have a celebratory drink or two… or 10.
For one Olympic dad, his dreams came to fruition, when his daughter Zoi Sadowski-Synnott won gold in the snowboard slopestyle event, the first ever Winter Olympic gold medal in New Zealand history.
Needless to say, he celebrated accordingly…
In fact, he probably began celebrating before she even hit the slopes, judging by this interview.
Enjoy:
I mean good Lord, the f-bombs, the slurred speech, my guy was fucked up.
His daughter weighed in on the electric interview to Reuters:
“Yeah, I think that he had a few too many drinks at that point, but you can’t really blame him, it was Waitangi Day in New Zealand (a national holiday) and his daughter just won the Olympics so…
The last 24 hours has been a whirlwind, super-stoked to be standing here with gold around my neck.”
I mean c’mon, you can’t say you wouldn’t be pounding the booze as you cheered on your son or daughter as they competed in the Olympics. I don’t care if you were watching in person, or from your couch, you may only get to celebrate an occasion like this once in your life.
Have a day King.
Here’s the Gold-winning run:
