CALGARY — Veteran Canadian bobsled pilot Chris Spring has announced his retirement, ending a career that included nine World Cup medals and four Olympic appearances.
Spring's career highlights include back-to-back World Cup gold in the two-man bobsled at Whistler, B.C. .
Spring, 39, started his career with Australia, his birth country, and competed for that country at the 2010 Vancouver Games before switching his allegiance to Canada in 2011. “I’m still so very passionate about bobsleigh. I never knew that I could love a sport so much," Spring said in a release."The hype with the team and pushing that sled off the line, coupled with driving a bobsleigh and manipulating it to achieve the exact line, gave me a feeling that I often wonder if I will ever find somewhere else in life.
