Yeah three years ago though. Brendan McKay is our most consistent performer

Wouldn’t say quit is the right word. He’s 32, and a couple of months ago his first child was born. Don’t know the exact reason why, but he probably decided to retire to focus on his family.

Early 30s is a pretty normal time for a freestyle skier to retire.
