It’s hard not to be in awe of Dale. His sporting abilities have catapulted him to legendary status, not just in Australia but throughout the world. Becoming the youngest mogul skier in Winter Olympic history to win gold in 2006, he added a silver medal to his collection in 2010 and then straight after the Vancouver Winter Games he added his fourth World Cup title, equaling a record established by Frenchman Edgar Grospiron. Many experts thought the Frenchman’s feats would never be matched.

Another record that leads many to consider Dale the greatest mogul skier of all time is his current streak of 60 consecutive finals appearances, which surpasses all of his peers.

Equally amazing is that Dale is still young enough to compete for many more years and has the capability of setting records that peers can only marvel at.
