Winter Sports

Alex Pullin, nicknamed Chumpy, was an Australian snowboarder who lived from 20 September 1987 to 8 July 2020. Born in Mansfield, Victoria, he preferred snowboard cross because he considered it the most pure form of competition. He competed at the 2010, 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics, carrying the Australian flag at the 2014 opening ceremony and finishing sixth in 2018 after crashing in the final. He was a two-time snowboard cross world champion, winning in 2011 and 2013 and becoming the first Australian to defend a world title, and he won the overall snowboard cross World Cup title in 2010-11 and 2012-13. He also took silver at the 2016 Winter X Games in Aspen and fronted a reggae band called Love Charli.
