After conquering lymphoma the seven-time X Games champion and PyeongChang silver medalist conquered the slopes with an incredible run resulting in a 90.96 score.
“This is so incredibly special, especially with the run I did today,” said Parrot. “I’ve never done two triples in a row in a run, with that difficulty as well, and everything was so clean. I am extremely proud of myself and to take gold on that run means so much for me.”
