Canadian Duff Gibson will represent Canada in the Olympics for the second time when he competes in the skeleton in Turin in February. He also represented Canada in the skeleton in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. But when he’s not sliding headfirst down an icy mountain, he’s fighting fires. You see, Duff Gibson is a firefighter.

He’s also a very determined man. Gibson went through dozens of sports before settling on skeleton. His goal was always to represent his country in the Olympics.

In the 2002 Olympics, he came in 10th. This was not enough for him. He really wants a medal. So, next month he’ll be back in Turin, Italy, sliding down a hill on a small sled. You can read more about Duff here.
