Snowboarder Max Parrot soared in men’s snowboard slopestyle on Monday, as the cancer survivor won gold for Canada.
An upgrade from the silver he earned at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, Parrot was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma- a type of blood cancer- in December 2018, forcing him to miss the whole of next season. But three years later, he stands atop the Olympic podium, alongside his compatriot Mark McMorris who earned bronze.
