Listen Later

On a winter February day in Italy in 2006, Duff Gibson made history — becoming the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal in skeleton, and the oldest individual gold medallist in Winter Olympic history. The Calgary firefighter did it in spectacular fashion, narrowly edging out teammate Jeff Pain to claim gold and deliver one of Canada’s most unforgettable Olympic moments. In this incredible interview, Duff reflects on his remarkable rise in the sport — from how he first got involved, to how his Olympic debut in 2002 fuelled his push for that famous gold. He also opens up about the unlikely inspiration of Zach Braff and reveals his surprising connection to Cool Runnings. Packed with unforgettable stories, this is a chat you won’t want to miss.
