The one word I would chose for the feeling I had these last two weeks is UNFORGETTABLE! To lead our US Team through opening ceremony was the ultimate honor. To perform my best when the pressure is on was my ultimate goal for the games, and I did. GOLD and SILVER! We have worked toward this goal for over 3 years and to finally be here and reach my goal was the most incredible feeling of accomplishment I've ever had! I'm so happy my wife Sara and Jillian were here to share this experience with me... and be the best TEAM USA super fans ever! @usparalympics@paralympics@nbcolympics@parasnowboard #gold #silver #goals #snowboarding #BOARDERCROSS #redwhiteandblue

It's difficult to find the words to explain the emotions of yesterday's experience. It may be a silver but it feels as good as gold🥈
There's two sides to why this day was so powerful and hit my emotions so hard. The four years of physical/mental preparation, traveling around the world, months away from family, the sacrifice, the challenges of the pandemic and hoping the daily tests continue to say negative, and keeping up with the stiff competition, it all has to come together perfectly at right time when it matters most!! When the world is watching!! I threw down my best runs on race day and pushed my way into the 2nd spot.
2nd best in the world in that moment 🥈
The other side is the many talented and driven athletes I get to work with through my company @biodapt . Everyone that I lined up against on race day (and many others here) were wearing equipment I built in my shop. It's extremely rewarding to know that I've played a part in helping these athletes pursue their performance goals through the equipment I've developed. It's a win win🦿
There are so many people that are part of my team that help bring out the best in me, and help me perform at my highest level. It starts with my wife @slschultz25 and daughter Lauren, my family and friends support, and my super rad US teammates and staff, its such a blast being here with all of you 🇺🇸 Thank you for all the hard work and support‼️
Congratulations to all the other athletes that slayed it, it's so rad to race with you guys in the big final! @tyturner14@adaptivechrisvos
We have one more to go! Banked Slalom coming up in a couple days.

Ever wonder what Paralympians do when they're not competing? Well, they're busy being business owners, attorneys, founders, and everything in between! 👏

legend, innovator, champion🏆
after three paralympic games, four paralympic medals, seven world championship podiums and countless other accolades, @monstermikeschultz is shifting his focus away from the race course and on to the future of Para snowboarding. his company @biodapt creates cutting edge lower limb prosthetics, and plans to continue to innovate for the next generation to progress the sport🦿
Thank you, @monstermikeschultz - your legacy on and off the snow will be felt for generations to come❤️
Let's play ball!! ⚾️
Such a fun experience hangin out at the @twins opener today with some of the Minnesota Olympian and Paralympian medalists! The amount of hardware on the field was IMPRESSIVE, which included women's Hockey, Curling, Sled Hockey and Parasnowboard.
The highlight, getting to throw one of the first pitches with TEAM USA Curlers @koreydropkin & @corychristensen7
Thank you, to everyone involved for making this a memorable day for all of us!

I feel conflicted about posting this, but to not do so also feels like a snub to the honor that Schultz bestowed on me. To receive an Order of Ikkos is incredibly humbling, and was not something I anticipated when athletes have so many amazing people in their corners - coaches, technicians, families, medical providers, other support staff (a whole village of high performance).
Thank you Mike, for granting me the privilege of working with you over the past 6 years. I know I haven’t always been your favorite provider, nagging you on hydrating better or challenging you to sneak more veggies in. However, one of my joys as a dietitian is to get to know the human behind the athlete. Cheers to you, Mike, for letting me be a small part of your story. It was an honor to see you drop into Paralympics for the ultimate LOBO and see you bookend your career with a podium ❤️
P.s. Clock the disbelief in the last pic. Thanks for making me cry - I thought I’d get through MiCo without tears 🥲
Great interview with @monstermikeschultz about his nickname, making a prosthetic leg for his competitor @adaptivechrisvos and more! Check out his company @biodapt to learn more about what he’s building #interview #olympics #paralympics #snowboarding

@monstermikeschultz races for the final time in Cortina, closing a chapter that helped redefine para snowboarding, and opening the door to what comes next.
Because for Mike, the finish line isn’t the end, it’s a starting point to design and make the future.
