Non-notable individual with a source relating to an entirely different person. All the alleged accomplishments appear to be hoaxes, with no corroboration whatsoever via Google. Meph talk 05:24, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I have attempted to locate any media mentions of any of the unsourced claims regarding awards and have not turned up a single hit on google or bing. The single source in the article links to an IMDB profile for what appears to be an entirely different person.  This appears to be a non-notable athlete per WP:ATHLETE.

 * Delete - I call bullpiffle on this one. He claims to have competed and finished 18th in some unspecified event at the Winter X Games of 2010.  A look at Winter X Games XIV shows not one single event even had 18 competitors.  And as for all the other accomplishments, that's pretty impressive top world results for somebody who isn't registered with the FIS, the world governing body for the sport. --- Whpq (talk) 14:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
