Gordy Sheer (along with doubles partner Chris Thorpe) was the first American ever to win an Olympic medal in luge, doing so in the 1998 Nagano Winter Games. Gordy has been coming on The CGP since 2009, leading up to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. He's joined the program live from Vancouver, Sochi and a myriad of locations around the world. In this first segment Gordy talks about what it means to be an Olympian (he competed in three Olympic Games), walking in the Parade of Nations at the Opening Ceremonies, recruiting youngsters to luge and what qualities USA Luge is looking for at their recruiting events.
