Interesting Fact: Cody Sorensen was a national champion in track and field in university but switched to bobsleigh because he was a bigger guy for a sprinter and knew he would never be competitive internationally.

Chances: As a part of the Canada-2 sleigh, Sorensen isn’t expected to medal. But behind the leadership of Chris Spring they could shock some people.
