LYNDON RUSH Position/Poste: Pilot Height/Taille: 1.83 m Weight/Poids: 105 kg Date of Birth/ Date de naissance: November 24, 1980 Place of Birth/Ville natale: Saskatoon, Sask. Residence/Résidence: Sylvan Lake, Alta. Hometown/chez soi: Humboldt, Sask. Twitter: Goldrush781 BACKGROUND: Lyndon played football for five years at the University of Saskatchewan before receiving a call from Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton urging him to give the sport of bobsleigh a try. While training as a potential brakeman at a development camp in 2004, Lyndon pulled his hamstring that forced a change in plans. Instead of becoming a brakeman, Lyndon decided to attend the driver s school. Lyndon has developed into one of the top pilots in Canada having raced on the America s Cup circuit in 2004, and the Europa Cup circuit until 2006 while also gaining World Cup experience. During the 2009-10 season, Lyndon emerged as the new leader of the Canadian men s bobsleigh program after winning World Cup gold medals in both the two- and four-man events prior to making history when he became the first Canadian in more than 40 years to win an Olympic medal in the four-man event. Rush and his team of Chris Le Bihan, David Bissett and Lascelles Brown captured the bronze medal on home ice in Whistler, B.C. He added to his historic run two years ago by capturing his first-ever World Championship medal when he and Jesse Lumsden teamed up to claim the silver in Lake Placid, N.Y. The Canadian duo joined forces last year to win the overall World Cup two-man title. Lyndon has a wife and three children. PARCOURS DANS LE SPORT : Lyndon a joué au football pendant cinq ans à l Université de Saskatchewan avant de recevoir un coup de fil de Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton l invitant à essayer le sport du bobsleigh. Lorsqu il s entraînait comme frein dans un camp de développement en 2004, Lyndon s est tordu le tendon du jarret, ce qui a changé son parcours dans le sport. Plutôt que de devenir frein, Lyndon a décidé de suivre une formation de pilote. Rush_2013_fr Athlete Profile/Biographie d athlète last updated 13-11-15 Page 1 of 5

Lyndon est devenu l un des meilleurs pilotes au Canada : il a concouru au circuit de Coupe d Amérique en 2004, puis le circuit de Coupe Europa jusqu en 2006, tout en participant à des épreuves de Coupe du Monde çà et là aussi. Au cours de la saison 2009-10, Lyndon s est imposé comme nouveau meneur du programme canadien du bobsleigh masculin : il a récolté des médailles d or en Coupe du Monde, tant à l épreuve de bob à deux qu à l épreuve de bob à quatre, puis il est entré dans l histoire comme premier Canadien depuis plus de 40 ans à gagner une médaille olympique en bob à quatre. Rush et son équipage de Chris Le Bihan, David Bissett et Lascelles Brown ont eu la médaille de bronze sur leur propre piste de Whistler C-B. Rush a continué a écrire de nouveaux chapitres dans l histoire du bobsleigh au Canada : lui et Jesse Lumsden ont gagné leur première médaille de Championnat du Monde, finissant au deuxième rang à Lac Placid, N.Y. L an dernier, ce duo canadien a terminé au premier rang au classement général de Coupe du Monde dans la discipline de bobsleigh à deux masculin. Lyndon est marié avec trois enfants.
