被苏翊鸣称为偶像，3年前他曾得癌症，经历12次化疗，如今摘得金牌，总理发推祝贺！（附视频&解说稿）
2月7日，加拿大选手马克斯·帕罗特（Max Parrot）以90.96分夺得北京冬奥会单板滑雪男子坡面障碍技巧决赛冠军。中国选手苏翊鸣获得银牌，而加拿大选手马克·麦克莫里斯（Mark McMorris）获得铜牌。
在北京冬奥会上，他不仅战胜了包括苏翊鸣在内的各路好手，更战胜了自己身上的病魔。两位加拿大运动员出现在领奖台上的情景颇为有趣。对这位2018年不幸确诊霍奇金淋巴瘤的加拿大名将而言，能够重新站上滑雪道，就已经是一个奇迹。
马克斯·帕罗特来自魁北克布罗蒙（Bromont）。他在2018年被诊断出患有何杰金氏淋巴瘤，化疗导致他体能状态几乎清零。他表示自己三年前，还躺在医院，没有体力和肌肉，心肺功能也很差，那是他一生中最艰难的时刻。
他称：“过去的四年中，发生了很多事情，患癌、挑战癌症、对抗新冠病毒。训练变得艰难、旅行变得艰难，现在比以前要艰难”。他表示（今天的夺冠）真的说明了一切皆有可能，“今天，我是奥运会金牌得主，我完成了我人生中最大的一次跨越”。
他表示他对体育和生活的看法在患癌后发生了变化，“每次我踏上滑雪板时，我的笑容都会比以前多一倍”。加拿大总理杜鲁多发布推特，向两位加拿大选手在奥运会得奖表达了祝贺。
马克斯·帕罗特曾在一个采访视频中透露，在他比赛的生涯中，尤其是患癌症之后，教练Yves Mailhot的鼓励和不离不弃至关重要。

I was in the gym and he was training on a bench, and I go, what do you want to do with that? He says "Snowboarding".
"Competition?" He says "No I want to go to Olympics." What?! He was basically laughing at me.
No, not laughing at you.
I just keep on thinking in my head if he needs help, I'll be there.
You never know.
And since that day, I started working with him every time I go to the gym.
He's not just a gym coach you know.
He's not just telling me to do how many reps and making sure I have good muscles.
He is really more deep into what I do in my everyday life.
It was end of October, early November, I remember I was training at the gym here and for some reason we noticed a bump on my neck right here.
We thought it'd be a good idea to go see the doctor and check it out.
It was my first time training somebody with cancer.
So we started thinking just 25 minutes for the first time.
It was so hard at first, I was doing less than a normal warm up.
And I was done for the day.
I was looking at him, trying not to have too many tears in my eyes.
I didn’t want him to see that.
I wanted to show him I was strong.
And he was looking at me and said, Yves, everything is going to be fine.
You know.
He’s very strong.
He went through it.
And I think for me, it’s the biggest battle.
The biggest win of his life against cancer.
So after seven weeks, I was able to reach my goal of getting my energy and my muscles back and I was able to go to the X Games.
When you won the Gold, everybody was crying.
Everybody was cheering, and what a moment.
You know from here, you go, “Wow, we did the job”.
2月7日，帕罗特夺得了北京冬奥会单板滑雪男子坡面技巧的金牌，浴火重生，强势归来。
帕罗特表示，“确切地说，3年前我还躺在病床上，没有活力，肌肉萎缩，也没法进行有氧运动。那称得上是我一生中最难熬的时刻。三年后的今天，我带着一腔热血再次回到奥运赛场上，赛出了我有史以来最好的成绩，成了奥运冠军——这太疯狂了。”
"Exactly three 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."
正是曾经的经历，让帕罗特对生活和单板滑雪有了全新的认识。“比赛中只要尽最大的努力去完成你想做的动作，然后享受单板滑雪的快乐，这才是最重要的。”让我们为这份永不言弃的精神喝彩！
