Pullin competed for
Australia at the 2010 Winter Olympics in snowboard cross (boardercross). He had the fastest qualifying time (1:20.15) in
his event, but was eliminated in the first round of competition, finishing in 17th place by virtue of his qualifying time. Pullin was the flag bearer for the Australian Winter Olympic team at the
2014 Winter Olympics in
Sochi, Russia, and competed in the
men's snowboard cross. One of the favourites in that event, Pullin was eliminated in the quarterfinals. The Australian government had given Pullin
$500,000 in funding for the event, more than any other Australian competitor. At the
2018 Winter Olympics, Pullin again competed in the Men's Snowboard Cross and came in sixth place, having crashed out during the final race. Fellow Australian
Jarryd Hughes came second at the event, but Pullin did not congratulate him due to a personal feud between them. Aside from the Olympics, Pullin began competing in the Winter
X Games in 2008. He won a silver medal in the 2016 event in
Aspen, Colorado, United States. He won the
snowboard cross events at the
2011 and
2013 FIS Snowboarding World Championships, making him the first Australian to defend a Snowboarding World Championships title. Pullin also won the overall
snowboard cross title in the
2010–11 FIS Snowboard World Cup and the
2012–13 FIS Snowboard World Cup. In 2011, he won a gold medal at the
New Zealand Winter Games. Outside of snowboarding, Pullin fronted a
reggae band called Love Charli. In 2020, Pullin announced his retirement from the sport. == Death ==
