From cancer diagnosis to Olympic gold in three years

Canadian Max Parrot won Olympic snowboard slopestyle gold with the "best run of his life" just three years after being diagnosed with cancer.

The snowboarder was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in late 2018 and underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy, in July 2019 he announced he was cancer-free.

"So much went by in those last four years," an emotional Parrot told BBC Sport.

"The last time I was at the Olympics, in Pyeongchang, I got a silver medal, and then I had to go through cancer. It was a nightmare - it's so hard to describe what I've been through. To be back out here, at the Olympics, on a podium again but with a gold medal, it feels amazing".
