“This has all had its amazing glow to every single decision and every single competition because I’ve decided this will be my last Olympics. I’ve given it my all.

“In my mind … I’ve decided this will be the last competition,” he added. “After the Olympics, I don’t compete much after the Games, cause it’s just so much to get here, so much pressure is weighing on you, and then finally that relief is so wanted and needed. And then I usually take the season after the Olympics off, just to focus and kind of get excited about things again … but it will be my last competition, which is pretty special too.”

“I definitely don’t think I’ll be leaving the sport anytime soon,” he added. “I think the beautiful part about snowboarding is there’s still a life to be had within the sport outside of competition.”
