Cyrus Gray

Born into civil unrest and an uncertain future, Cyrus Gray didn’t grow up with Olympic dreams…until he got into bobsledding.

A handful of years ago, Cyrus’ mom and sister were watching an RBC Training Ground event. He accepted the challenge and immediately drew interest from rugby and bobsleigh. Accepting an invitation to attend a training session in Whistler, B.C. led Cyrus on a path towards representing Canada as an alternate at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

He didn’t compete at those Games. Team Justin Kripps won bronze. Impressive enough that he was an alternate, the experience as also the spark that hooked him on the sport for life. After the 2022 Games, Cyrus earned a spot in the crew of the top four-man sled, piloted by Taylor Austin. The new squad earned a bronze at the World Cup in Whistler. He went on to compete at the World Championships in both 2- and 4-man races, finishing 16th and 13th respectively.

With Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton rebuilding its men’s program, Cyrus accepted another challenge in the sport in 2023: transitioning into the driver’s seat. Cyrus has embraced the opportunity wholly, now learning to drive sleds on the North American Cup circuits with his eyes squarely focused on the 2026 Games. He is determined and full of hope. Did You Know…Cyrus grew up playing soccer and basketball in his home of Duncan, B.C. He eventually played point guard at Camosun College in Victoria.
