Four years ago, Noah Elliott was 16 years old and watching the Paralympic Winter Games on television from the hospital room in St. Louis where he was living while undergoing treatment for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer found in children and teens.
In April 2017, he caught the eye of national team coaches. Believing he had a chance, they told him to start the 2017-18 season in New Zealand and compete as much as he could moving forward. He made his international debut then continued to compete in snowboard cross and banked slalom in as many world cup events as he could, continuing to raise money to support his travel the whole time. Along the way he earned enough podium finishes that he qualified for the Paralympics and was officially named to the U.S. Paralympic Team in February. In his first Paralympic debut, Noah won a gold medal in Banked Slalom and bronze in Snowboard Cross at the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang."
