	Jean-Luc Brassard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean-Luc Brassard (born August 24, 1972 in Valleyfield, Quebec) is a French-Canadian freestyle skier, winning the gold medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics in the sport's debut as a medal event.
		Brassard has been credited as popularizing the wearing of bright knee pads to show off absorption and leg position for mogul skiers to best show judges how smoothly the athlete is taking the turns.
		In his other Olympic appearances, Brassard placed 7th when the event was a demonstration sport in 1992, 4th in 1998 and 21st in 2002.
