As we previously reported, Julian Jeang-Agliardi claimed the gold medal in men's street skateboarding at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
While the young French-American skater celebrated his gnarly victory, another special moment unfolded just as the competition came to an end.
His dad, Yannick, couldn't hold back his emotions as he watched his son achieve something every parent would be proud of.
Seeing Julian reach the top of the podium brought tears of joy to Yannick, making the victory even more meaningful for the entire family.
Unc Yannick has been by Julian's side since his early days on a skateboard, watching him develop his skills, skate the streets, and eventually compete on the international stage.
After years of dedication and support, seeing his son become a Youth Olympic champion was an emotional moment for Unc.
The Olympics also shared a touching clip of the father and son embracing after the victory, with the caption:
"Nothing beats seeing your son live your dream."
The post also featured:
"A victory sealed with a father-son hug. 🥹 Julian Jeang-Agliardi, the #Dakar2026 Youth Olympic Champion that reminded us what it's all about."
This moment showed just how much a victory can mean to the people who have been there from the very beginning.
It was a dream come true for Julian, and for Unc Yannick, seeing his son achieve that dream was just as special.
Congratulations once again to Julian and the entire Agliardi family!
