Episode description

In the absence of Tokyo 2020, we're here to bring you a huge series of athlete interviews to carry you through the Summer. Today we speak to Jon Montgomery, Skeleton Gold Medalist from Vancouver 2010. We talk to Jon about how he was able to break into the sport of Skeleton, and what it takes to excel in this insane and unique Winter sport. Jon breaks down his Gold medal run, and the memorable celebration that made him a household name. Jon also covers his experiences as host of The Amazing Race Canada, and what it was like to participate in 2018 as a commentator for CBC. Stay all the way to the end to hear the story about Jon meeting his childhood hockey hero Doug Gilmour, which needs to be heard to believe.
