Jake Canter Wins Olympic Bronze, 10 Years After Near-Fatal Accident
Jake Canter’s Olympic bronze medal in slopestyle is more than a career milestone — it’s a triumph of resilience.
The 22-year-old American snowboarder finished third on Feb. 18 at the Winter Olympics, behind Japan’s Taiga Hasegawa (silver) and China’s Su Yiming (gold). But the moment carried deeper meaning: it came nearly a decade after Canter was given just a 20 percent chance to live following a trampoline accident in 2016.
