Three-time gold medallist at 2011 Canada Winter Games (15km Classic, Free Sprint, 4 x 5km Relay).

Interesting Fact: Jesse Cockney’s favourite Olympic memory is waking up to the radio telling him that now-teammate Chandra Crawford had won the sprint at Turin 2006.

Chances: He has experienced success on the junior circuit and within Canada, but having yet to finish better than 9^th at a senior world event, Cockney is not expected to medal.
