“Congratulations!” to Max Parrot on your Olympic GOLD. Your rebound from cancer, rehabilitation from “zero” and drive to compete again will an inspiration to those struggling. - Well done, sir!

- “Exactly 3 years ago I was lying in a hospital and I had no energy, no muscles, no cardio. It was the hardest moment of my life and to be standing here three years later at the Olympics again, doing my passion, laying down the best run I've ever done and winning gold -- it's insane."

A happy story when so much bad news is floating around. Not just the gold medal, but a gold medal for a person who was near dead not long ago.
