Team Canada earned its first gold medal on Monday morning thanks to Quebec native and cancer survivor Max Parrot

Because there are no ski jumping facilities in Canada, the country’s ski jumpers train out of Slovenia and are largely self funded. But against all odds, the four-person team of Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, Matthew Soukup, Abigail Strate and Alexandria Loutit won bronze in the inaugural mixed team ski jumping event late Monday evening in Beijing .

Boutin’s first bronze was won at Pyeongchang 2018 after a controversial fourth place win in the final, but only because of contact with Korean icon Minjeong Choi. Parrot’s 90.88 score at the snowboard slopestyle event earned him first place on Monday morning, Canada’s first gold of the games.Article content
