  • In the big air final he landed the first-ever "nose butter triple cork 1620" (a series of choreographed flips and spins he had not even tried himself before) and scored a perfect 50 points.
  • He represented Sweden in slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. Harlaut is well known for his unusual appearance.
  • At the Winter Olympics in Sochi he skied with "trousers round his knees and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle gloves", losing his trousers in the qualifying round in a "wardrobe malfunction".
  • As a result, he fell short of a medal and finished sixth.
  • After his run, Harlaut gave the Wu-Tang Clan hand sign to the cameras and declared that "Wu-Tang is for the children", echoing the words spoken by rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard when he interrupted the 1998 Grammy Awards on behalf of the group.
