An Olympic medal can transform a sportsman life forever, yet you get the impression snowboarder Billy Morgan is not a man who will change for anyone.

Morgan‘s magnificent bronze medal in the Big Air event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang propelled him into the headlines in the UK media, with a YouTube clip of his snowboarding exploits around the streets of Essex after a blast of snow earlier this month quickly becoming a viral video hit around the world.

In double quick time, Morgan has quickly become one of Britain’s most marketable sporting heroes and as he sat down with Yahoo Sport for an exclusive interview at the Red Bull offices in London, it was evident that fame is unlikely to change this ice cool character.

He spoke to Yahoo Sport’s Kevin Palmer about how the Games have changed his life and what the future might – or might no – hold.
