Alexandre Bilodeau

In the 2005–06 overall World Cup standings he managed to finish second and won the FIS rookie of the year title.

[5] In February 2009, he won four straight World Cup events and was part of two Canadian sweeps of the men's podium in moguls.

This was in contrast to the previous day for the women in which they skied in rain, sleet, and generally slushy conditions.

Bilodeau chose to give his to Canadian Association of Pediatric Health Centres for cerebral palsy.

[13] Bilodeau's victory over Dale Begg-Smith at the Olympics lead to some complaints about biased-judging from members of the Australian coaching staff.

At the Worlds, Bilodeau won the silver medal in the moguls event, finishing ahead of countryman Mikaël Kingsbury.

Bilodeau had a lot to say about the potential retirement commenting "Right now, I'm struggling a little bit with the results, but my skiing is there — I'm a better skier than I've ever been.

There he would go up against a familiar foe in teammate Kingsbury, he would defeat him there in the final and achieving his third consecutive title as World Champion in dual moguls.

This battle continued at the 2014 Winter Olympics where Bilodeau managed to beat out his counterpart after Kingsbury made a few slight errors in his final run.

[27] On March 21, 2014, Bilodeau announced he would retire after the 2013–14 FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup season.

His older brother, Frédéric, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age and told that he would be unable to walk by the time he was 12.

However, his mother got tired of taking Frédéric, their sister Béatrice and him from one rink to another for hockey games, and instead she encouraged him to sign up for downhill skiing.

[34] Bilodeau graduated from the Collège Jean-Eudes, a French-language high school in Montreal where he studied sciences.

[35] Bilodeau says that his heroes are his brother Frédéric and Canadian freestyle skier Jean-Luc Brassard.
