Most Olympic Team members will admit that there is some luck involved in succeeding in their sport, but Colby Stevenson has a much grander vision when it comes to that, because he knows he is simply lucky to be alive.
are you good opposite T. Um I was for the first half of the summer and now now my my drives aren't that good, not bad. That looks pretty natural. I'm not it's it's not anything that really, you know, we get off the T. I'm Colby Stephenson. I ski slopestyle. I'm from Park city Utah Yeah, So in 2016 I was driving back from Mount Hood Oregon and I fell asleep at the wheel and rolled a truck like six times and had a pretty severe head injury and broke a bunch of bones and I'm very lucky to be standing here today. So I basically shattered the whole right side of my skull. Um had to have a craniotomy where they like go in and piece it back together like a puzzle broke a couple vertebrae in my neck jaw, eye socket, a few ribs was like six months of hell, basically. And then I was back skiing and everything was somehow all right after my accident is when I actually found what it takes to win in competition, it was because I shifted my focus from wanting to win to just being grateful for being able to travel and living this life my first World Cup back after the accident was in Italy and I remember it being at the top of my run and like closing my eyes and thinking of all my loved ones, opened my eyes and then dropped in from my run and and won the World Cup. And so if you can somehow do it out of love, then that's gonna be your best shot Kobe Stevenson is going to be our winner out here today. Yeah.
