(ANSA) – BEIJING, 07 FEB – A grueling battle against cancer that began three years ago has given Max Parrot a new perspective on life and has made him even stronger in sports and in particular in snowboarding. The fruits were seen today with the triumph of the Canadian athlete in the men’s slopestyle at the Beijing Olympics. “Going through 12 rounds of chemotherapy is the hardest thing I’ve been through – said the 27-year-old – It definitely makes you mentally stronger. It definitely changed me as a person and also as an athlete. Every time I tie my feet to the snowboard, it definitely changes me. I appreciate much more than before. Smile more, everything is more positive. You put less pressure on yourself, less stress on yourself. “
The three-time Olympian was able to take a qualitative leap from his silver medal at PyeongChang 2018.
“So you just do your best trying to get the things you want to do, having fun and being on your table – added Parrot – In the end that’s all that matters”. (HANDLE).
