About Chris

At age 53, Devlin-Young became the oldest athlete in history to earn a medal at X Games when he took gold in XG Aspen 2015 Mono Skier X. The soon-to-be-grandfather is nearly three times the age of his youngest competitor, yet he remains one of the biggest threats on the X Course. The multi-time Paralympic gold medalist is making his sixth XG appearance in 2016 and, as the second-oldest athlete ever to compete in a winter discipline, he has racing experience on his side. With a love for the challenging, difficult Aspen course, this U.S. Coast Guard vet expects a third X Games medal this year.

• Now 54, he is the second
• oldest athlete ever to compete in an X Games winter discipline.
• His son Brandon is expecting a baby boy, Ace, in March 2015. Brandon is 30.

• ever."
