At the time I met Alex Pullin I must admit I had no idea who he was . I was sitting next to him in airport . I was like just coming back from watching Olympics he was like I’m coming back as well. He told me had just completed in Olympics, guy was so down to earth & humble https://t.co/73rzebjRQN
RIP Alex Pullin, Australian Olympic flag bearer at the 2014 Winter Olympics. “Chumpy” was an all-round outdoorsman and world champion snowboard cross athlete. He had a lovely open personality and lived life to the max in all ways. Tragic tragic loss
