Following a series of World Cup successes, Dale attended the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy along with his brother Jason Begg-Smith. He made history as he won the Olympic Gold Medal by becoming the youngest man to ever win Olympic gold in the sport. In 2006, Australia Post noted that his gold medal put him in a “small and honored group of athletes” and issued a postage stamp commemorating Begg-Smith-s achievement. Dale Begg-Smith continued to win three World Cup season victories over the following four years. He went on to set the record for the most consecutive World Cup finals in events he has entered, by qualifying for 60 consecutive finals. After his success at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics with a silver medal and having 4 World Cup season wins, Dale cemented himself as the greatest freestyle mogul skier of all time.
Dale Begg-Smith set the record for the only freestyle athlete to medal at all four major events entered, due to his Olympic and world championship podiums. He became due to his Olympic gold and Olympic silver medals. Begg-Smith enjoys giving back to Australia, the country he feels fortunate to be a part of. He spends time volunteering with young Australian mogul skiers, teaching them from his experience and skills. Mentoring young athletes, Begg-Smith is able to share his love of the sport. He is one of only five Australians to win a gold medal in the Winter Games alongside Olympians Torah Bright, Lydia Lassila, Alisa Camplin, and Steven Bradbury.
