Canter was told by doctors at 13 that he could never snowboard again after a trampoline accident fractured his skull in four places, left him in a four‑day coma, and caused hearing loss. He defied the prognosis, relearning to walk and talk after surgery and therapy.
At the Beijing 2022 Games, Canter landed a 1980‑degree spin on his final run, earning a bronze medal in slopestyle and proving the doctors wrong.
