Interesting Fact: While travelling the world, Chris Spring was in Calgary on a one-year work visa, caught the Canadian Bobsleigh Championships and immediately fell in love. He competed for his native Australia at Vancouver 2010.
Chances: While Spring is officially considered to be the pilot of Canada’s second best sleigh, he has experienced success in both the two-man and four-man events. In the two-man he competes with Jesse Lumsden, while he leads the four-man group that consists of Lumsden, Cody Sorensen and Ben Coakwell. Spring is a talented pilot who could shock some people in Sochi.
