“[Frederic said] the same thing he said to me in Turino and Vancouver; he loves me. He says, ‘I love you Alex.’ That’s the first thing he tells me. He’s so proud. He lives his dreams through my eyes and for me it’s priceless to see that, to see his eyes just so big and so proud.

“He’s worked hard. He’s encouraged me. He’s always been with me through these four years, working hard. He’s a big part of that,” Bilodeau told Matt Lauer of Today on Tuesday following his win.

While Bilodeau was careful to thank his teammates in helping him achieve his Olympic success, he is adamant that, when he is training every day, it is his brother who gets him out of bed in the morning.

“When I’m on my skis my colleges are my inspiration, they are pushing me every day to be a better skier, to go faster, to go bigger. But a four-year process is very long, and when I wake up in the morning it’s my brother,” Biloadeau told reporters.
