In case you missed it yesterday, Canadian snowboarder Max Parrot has provided arguably the most inspiring story of the Winter Olympics so far.
Just over three years after he was diagnosed with cancer, Parrot claimed his first Olympic gold medal in the men's slopestyle event in Beijing on Monday.
In what he has described as a "nightmare journey" since his diagnosis with Hodgkin's lymphoma in December 2018, Parrot underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy before announcing in July 2019 that he had "won" against cancer.
"At times, I felt like I was a lion in a cage because I wasn't able to do what I love the most, which is snowboarding," the 27-year-old said as he reflected on the past three years.
"That was the first time in my life that I had to put my snowboard in the closet. Snowboarding is all I know, so it was really hard for me."
