Matt Graham is hoping his baby daughter Ada is more impressed with his bronze medal than his silver as the Australian veteran formed part of a "dad podium" in the first-ever Olympic dual moguls event.
With the duals a new Olympic event, the 31-year-old bounced back from individual disappointment to add another medal to the one he collected eight years ago in PyeongChang and continue the Aussie success story at Milan-Cortina.
He became the country's third moguls medallist at the Games on Sunday, joining Olympic champions Cooper Woods and Jakara Anthony, who won the women's dual the day before.
Racing furiously side-by-side down the Livigno course, Australia's flagbearer missed his chance to go for gold when beaten by Ikuma Horishima 21-14 in the semi-final.
But he clawed his way onto the podium with a 20-15 win over another Japanese skier Takuya Shimakawa in the small final, the head-to-head that decided the bronze medal.
It was Australia's record-extending fifth medal of the Olympics and was hard-won given Graham's multiple injuries that have included a fractured neck, collarbone, broken ribs and lung contusions.
"This means a lot, the other day was a bit bittersweet, coming fifth when I knew I had enough to get on the podium so today was a bit about redemption, I was fired up," the four-time Olympian said.
In another helter-skelter affair, Canadian all-time great Mikael Kingsbury won the gold medal after taking silver in the individual, with Horishima one of a number of skiers who barely made it down the course.
The three medal winners are all fathers and it was the third time they've been on the podium together, after a World Cup finish and the world championships last year.
"We're the three dads on tour and the elder statesmen but we're also some of the best guys on the tour, so we knew it was possible," the NSW central coast product said.
"But to do it here at the Games is very special.
"In that start gate, I knew what was at stake, I knew it was up to me to fulfil that dream for us, so this medal means so much to me.
"While our kids probably won't remember this moment, at some point we're going to look back at the photos and videos and realise how special this was."
His wife Jess and toddler Ada watched at the bottom of the course but Graham didn't know if the toddler would be too impressed by a medal of any colour.
"I put the silver medal around her neck for something fun, and I'm sure this one will go around her neck this afternoon on a few occasions, but hopefully she takes to this one more than the silver, she really didn't like it when I put it around her neck."
Woods was seeded through to the second round but exited at that point, losing his rhythm near the top of the course and not even attempting the bottom jump.
The 25-year-old said it meant everything for his long-time teammate to get a Milan-Cortina medal.
"He's captain of our team, he's leader because he works the hardest and he deserves it more than anyone else," Woods said.
"If you're not winning, you want your teammate to win ... it's been an incredible few days for our team."
After a hectic fews days as a new Olympic champion, the disappointed Woods said he had prepared well for his second event before bowing out against American Charlie Mickel.
"It was hard, you know, like it's different, it's new feelings," he said.
"I had a really good couple of days of training and, yeah, it's just extra noise and I'm just trying to figure it all out, but I'm really proud of the way I held myself the last few days and got myself ready for competition."
Australian debutants Jackson Harvey and George Murphy were also eliminated in the second round.
