| BACKGROUND:
Arguably the most accomplished athlete in the history of the Canadian skeleton program, Jeff Pain has also solidified himself as one of the top athletes in the world having won nearly nearly everything available in his sport. Jeff is a multiple World Cup champion, a two-time World Champion and Olympic silver medallist.
Jeff’s breakthrough season came the year following the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City where he earned a gold medal at the World Championships, and a second-place finish in the Overall World Cup rankings.
After taking most of the 2003-04 season off due to a foot injury, Jeff returned with a vengeance in 2004-05, claiming both the men’s Overall World Cup title and top spot on the podium at the World Championship. He repeated as Overall World Cup titleholder in 2005-06, and capped off his wildly successful campaign with a silver medal at the Torino Olympic Winter Games.
Jeff continues his climb back to the top of the international standings in 2009-10. With only Olympic gold now left to put his fingers on, Jeff is focused on sliding into the winner’s circle at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
