Suddenly people from all over the world were interested in the life of Nico Porteous when he won New Zealand’s second gold medal in the men’s Freeski halfpipe event in Bejing during the Winter Olympics.
With gold to match the bronze he won in Pyeongchang four years ago, Nico is now the reigning world champion.
Before taking to the podium for gold, the freeskier had a perfect first run on the Olympic course, landing a thrilling combination of 1620s in a row, to score 93 points. He was eliminated on his third run but maintained that lead to win the final stage.

Nico Porteous Parents
Nico Porteous’ parents Chris and Andrew Porteous are indeed very proud and relieved to see their son in the midst of such success and at such a young age. People were nervously watching the action on the big screen in Wanaka during the Olympics when it all happened.
“I think it was four years of work, planning, and to do it in 30 seconds, it’s a credit to him, [coach] Tommy, and Miguel. It’s unbelievable”, they said, proud of their two sons. In the bigger picture, they say they are positive that now the world will think of their country not just as a tropical island but as a serious world-class ski destination.

Brother Nico Porteous
Nico Porteous first stepped on skis at the age of four on a family trip to France, influenced by his older brother (of course). Like Nico, Miguel Porteous is also a skier, and as Nico says he always takes after his older brother as a younger brother would.
When the New Zealand team did the haka in honor of Nico’s achievement at the bottom of the run during the big win, Miguel was there too carrying the new gold medalist.
Miguel, who finished 11th in the same competition, said he was proud to call Nico his brother.
Later that day, Nico also thanked his brother on Instagram with “@miguelporteous thank you for being my brother, role model, inspiration, and best mate. I love you brah. Thank you for always being by my side. ❤️❤️❤️”.
