Colourful (I MADE IT)

Alexandre Bilodeau is the son of Serge Bilodeau and Sylvie Michaud. His Brother Frederic was diagnosed with Cerebral palsy at a very young age and was told he would be unable to walk at the age of 12. Frederic is now 28 and amazingly, he can walk. Alexandre Bilodeau has a sister named Beatrice. Alexandre told his sister that she was the next Jen Heil. Alexandre Bilodeau often went to his older brother's school to encourage the kids to be good strong athletes. As a child, Bilodeau was a pretty good hockey player and often played on the streets with his friends. Then Alexandre's mother got sick and tired of taking him from rink to rink to practice and play against other teams. So when he was seven he decided to do moguls after he watched the amazing gold medal run by Jean-Luc Brassard.

Bilodeau Graduated from Jean-Eudes, a French language high school in Montreal where he studied Sciences. Bilodeau is now studying Environmental sciences. Bilodeau said if he was not a mogulist he would have became a fighter pilot. He says his biggest influences are his father and his brother. His nickname is Big Al. In his free time he likes to ski and play piano.

Alexandre Bilodeau is a member of the men's Canadian freestyle team. Bilodeau finished 2nd in the qualification round. In the finals, Bilodeau scored 26.5 with one of the fastest times ever. When he won the gold medal, all of Vancouver started to party all over the streets. The next day 22,000 people entered the BC palace to go and watch the gold medal ceremonies. A couple days after, Bilodeau and Jen Heil donated their money to charity. Alexandre Bilodeau gave his money to the to the health center for cerebral palsy. When Alexandre won, everyone from Australia was a little suspicious that the judges were not being fair. Before the Olympics Bilodeau didn't even win a gold medal but he saved it for the Olympics. A month after I went to COP and saw Alexandre Bilodeau do the run that he did in the Olympics at a freestyle moguls event. It was amazing and of course he won.
