Interesting Fact: Neville Wright was a sprinter since the age of seven. After failing to qualify for the Olympics in Beijing 2008, he decided to pursue another sport. In the summer of 2009 he tried bobsleigh and a year later was competing in the Olympics.

Chances: Wright is a big, powerful man who will have the best shot at a podium as a member of Lyndon Rush’s four-man team.
