Getting to know: Olivier Jean

This reggae-listening, dreadlock-sporting 25-year-old may be laid back on the outside, but inside, he's an intense, focused competitor who is very structured in his approach to the sport... Missed all of the 2007-08 season after his skate severed a tendon... Should help the relay team to a medal, outside medal contender individually... Best event is the 500m.

    Who am I?

    As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
