Interesting Fact: A member of the extremely strong men’s moguls team, Bilodeau joined teammates Mikael Kingsbury and Alex Bilodeau in the top five of the World Cup standings in 2012-2013.

Chances: His top finish when racing against the best in the world is 15th at the 2013 World Championship. There is room to grow considering Gagnon’s young age but he will likely not be standing on the podium in Sochi despite coming into his own of late.
