Three years after a cancer diagnosis and a dozen chemotherapy treatments, Canada's Max Parrot nailed the biggest run of his career on a one-of-a-kind course to capture slopestyle gold
ZHANGJIAKOU, China — Down the line of media the champion went, camera after camera, gaggle after gaggle, a fat grin on his face and a thin maple leaf flag draped over his shoulders.
“It could’ve went wrong easily, and I was able to stay focused and lay down every feature to perfection, which got me to [90.96 points, according to the judges] and the gold medal I was missing in my library,” Parrot said. “So I’m really proud of that as well.” Everyone else was too. “A guy who’s been through so much and continued to work hard and keep going at it is insane,” Gerard said. “I don’t know if he's my first pick—I’d want USA to win—but he's in my top three for someone to win.
