Farrington said she wants to ride the snowboard, but her days of soaring over the halfpipe are over.

Headline: Olympic champ Farrington retires due to spine condition
QUOTE: "Kaitlyn Farrington, the American snowboarder who pulled off one of the biggest surprises at the Sochi Olympics, is retiring because of a degenerative spine condition.
