In March 2017,cerita lucah budak sekolah menengah Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris laid in a hospital bed with fractured ribs, a fractured left arm, pelvis, and jaw, along with a ruptured spleen and collapsed left lung.
On Saturday, less than a year after he slammed into a tree while backcountry snowboarding, McMorris claimed an Olympic bronze medal in the men's slopestyle event.

"A lot of times I need to pinch myself. There have been some low times, but these high times make it worthwhile."
Apparently a lot can change in a week.. So so thankful to have my life! It was touch and go there for a second and I don't know how I can thank everyone enough for praying and sending healing vibes.... I hit a tree in the whistler backcountry a week ago and to be honest I was pretty sure I was going to die... @craigmcmorris @torsteinhorgmo @erinhogue @brandonkelly and @ryantiene saved my life by staying calm, building me a nest, and calling search and rescue🙏🏼 I will never take another day on this earth for granted .. 😌 Much Love❤
McMorris, who won his first bronze medal in slopestyle during the 2014 Sochi Olympics, went into his final run knowing he'd probably missed out on the gold medal.
He could've attempted a less difficult performance, but according to the National Post, the 24-year-old decided to attempt a daring jump: a backside triple 1620, which involves three flips and four-and-a-half rotations.
Though he's previously landed the maneuver, he came up just short this time.
"It’s worse when you play it safe and it doesn’t work out,” he said at first, then seeming to reframe his achievement. "It did work out. I probably shouldn’t even be here, so I’m pretty stoked."
And no doubt viewers are pretty stoked for McMorris as well. It's not every day you get to celebrate an athlete who's one of the best in the world -- and inspires the hell out of you.
