Max Parrot is an Olympic gold medalist snowboarder who has achieved significant success in slopestyle and big air events. After placing third at the St-Sauveur Shakedown at age 16, Max Parrot rapidly gained recognition on the World Snowboard Tour, culminating in him becoming the World Snowboard Tour Big Air Overall Champion in 2014. A trailblazer in the sport, Parrot made history by landing the first backside triple cork in an X Games slopestyle event in 2013. He continued to innovate, becoming the first to land consecutive triple jumps in a slopestyle run at the X Games in 2014, and the first to execute a Cab Quadruple Underflip 1620 in 2015.

His extraordinary journey earned him the prestigious Laureus World Sports Award for Comeback of the Year in 2021. Less than three years after completing his cancer treatment, Parrot delivered a historic performance at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. He won Canada’s first gold medal in men’s snowboard slopestyle and followed that with a bronze medal in the men’s big air event, bringing his total Olympic medal count to three. After his triumph in Beijing, Parrot announced a planned break from competition for the 2022-2023 season to focus on continued training and personal well-being, maintaining his commitment to the sport at an elite level.
