Siegfried Grabner has made a name as the biggest snowboarding star in Austria - even though he lives in Andorra, a small country in the Pyrenees between Spain and France... He also owns his own snowboard company, SG Snowboards... In 2006, at his third Olympic Winter Games, Grabner claimed his first Olympic medal - a bronze in parallel giant slalom.

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.
