legend! Canadian athlete Beijing won the first gold medal and received 12 rounds of chemotherapy

In the snowboard slope obstacle course competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics on the 7th, the legendary Canadian star Max Parrote won the championship with 90.96 points, which is not only his first winter Olympic gold medal, but also the first gold medal of the Canadian team at the Beijing Winter Olympics. And his story is legendary.

According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported on the 7th, at the last PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Parot was the silver medalist of the project. But then he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and had to miss the entire 2018-19 season. But three years later, he was on the podium again at the Winter Olympics. "This shows that everything is possible! 3 years ago I was still lying in a hospital bed, no strength, muscle atrophy, and no way to do aerobic exercise, but today I am an Olympic champion, completing the biggest step in my life! ”

Parrott, 29, is a legend in the snowboarding world, and his anti-cancer experience is particularly admirable. After announcing his diagnosis of cancer in early 2019, he had to undergo 12 rounds of chemotherapy in 6 months. During this time, he shaved his head and was unable to train, and his whole life was almost "cleared". However, just in August 2019, he announced his comeback two months after he had no cancer cells in his body and won the gold medal in the World Extreme Sports Competition, for which the Lawrence Award also awarded him the "Best Comeback Award".

"My goal is to win gold. But I won't have any regrets if I don't win the title, because I've done my best in the past few months. Parot said he will also compete in the men's big jump in snowboarding next.
