In a heartwarming moment, silver medalist skier Ethan Bennett was full of joy when his mother, gold medalist Clara Bennett, made a surprise appearance during an interview. Picture this: you’ve just sped down a snowy slope, showcasing your skills in front of the world’s best, and you finish in second place. Who do you call? Naturally, it’s your mom!

While Ethan was being interviewed on the Today Show, host Jamie Lee reminded him of his emotional FaceTime call with Clara right after his big win. “We thought it would be great to connect with your mom live!” Jamie shared, leading to a delightful reunion that had Ethan beaming from ear to ear.

Clara expressed her overwhelming emotion during the surprise. “I can’t even recall what I said because I was just so thrilled and proud. I was in tears, it was just incredible. Congratulations, Ethan, I’m so proud of you!”

Ethan reflected on the moment, sharing, “I couldn’t keep it together either. I wanted to share this experience with my family, and it was such a meaningful moment for all of us. I barely remember the words; we were all just so happy and emotional.”

Clara herself won a gold medal in skiing back in 1972, along with her Olympic siblings, so seeing her son achieve a similar success was deeply fulfilling. The win was particularly poignant as it fell exactly 50 years after her own victory, and nearly a year after Ethan’s serious accident that resulted in a neck injury requiring surgery.

“Let’s not have any more accidents,” Clara urged, embodying the protective spirit of a mother.
