A daring and improbable story of Olympic gold from bluecollar originsEvery summer in Michigans Upper Peninsula, Nick Baumgartner went to work pouring concrete, taking on the harsh physical conditions of the construction trade to support his professional snowboarding dreams come winter. To limit travel time while he trained for the Olympics an hour and a half away from home, he lived out of a crusty, old construction van, parked anywhere he could find a spot.And in 2022, after 17 years of failureall the crashes, injuries, and personal setbackshe won Olympic gold at 40 years old, becoming the oldest Olympic snowboard medalist in history.In this candid and affable memoir, Baumgartner details his journey from a onestoplight town to the podium in Beijing. Tales of crisscrossing the globe on the racing circuit and competing in four Olympic Games sit comfortably alongside Baumgartners reflections as a single parent and his affectionate portrayal of Iron River, Michigan, the community that raised him.More than just a sports story, Gold from Iron is a tale of massive dreams, constant sacrifice, and the lessons that can be learned racing down an icecovered course on a carbon fiber board.
