Sport: Ski Cross

Age: 31

Hometown: London, Ont.

Accomplishments:

  • 2010 Winter X Games Silver Medallist.
  • Two victories on the FIS World Cup circuit.

Interesting Fact: During the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Duncan had to withdraw from competition due to a broken clavicle that he suffered in the first day of training.

Chances: A couple months ago, not many people would have considered Duncan a medal contender. But he finished the 2013 year with two straight World Cup wins and is heading into Sochi on the best run of his career.
