He won the gold medal in the men's dual banked slalom SB-LL1 event at the 2021 World Para Snow Sports Championships held in Lillehammer, Norway.[3][4]

Personal life

While growing up in Missouri, Elliott dreamed of becoming a professional skateboarder. After he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at age fifteen, his left leg was amputated above the knee. He switched to snowboarding following a chance meeting with fellow Paralympian Brenna Huckaby.[6]
