Listen now
Description
3x Canadian Olympic Bobsledder and 2018 Gold Medalist Justin Kripps had a major desire to represent the Red and White on the International stage. Watching Donovan Bailey capture gold for Canada at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta inspired an entire generation of Canadian kids and future athletes, including Justin. Despite some success in high school and college with track & field, Justin realized that making the summer Olympics for running events would be quite difficult, nearly unattainable. However, following the introduction to the sport of bobsleigh, Justin unlocked some hidden talents within the world of professional tobogganing. Now firmly entrenched as one of the top pilots in the world, #TeamKripps is ready to leap into another stratosphere (Ep. 24).
