Overcoming adversity to win Gold in the snowboard slopestyle finals and inspire the world

Canadian Olympic snowboarder Max Parrot is an extraordinary athlete who gained mental toughness during his battle with cancer. In 2018, Max was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, just eight months after earning snowboard slopestyle silver in PyeongChang. "It made me realise how grateful I am to be alive, actually grateful I am able to do my passion," he said. With his qualification for Beijing 2022, this is an inspirational story of courage for all and a reminder to never give up.
