Olympic Gold Medalist Kaitlyn Farrington Forced to Retire at 25

Olympic gold medalist Kaitlyn Farrington retires from snowboard at the age of 25, after doctors discovered a spinal condition she’s had since birth. My heart breaks for her when reading this article. She will always be a champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and I hope she can take some comfort in what she’s achieved. I’m sure, in a way, she’s thankful that she dodged this bullet and found out about her condition before it was too late. Wishing you all the best in the next endeavours you pursue, Kaitlyn.
