Yohan Eskrick-Parkinson will push a bobsled for the first time in his life Thursday in Whistler , B.C. , with the goal of doing that for Canada at an Olympic Games .

The 24-year-old grew up in Calgary diving competitively.

He represented Jamaica at both the 2023 and 2024 world aquatics championships in a bid to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris .

Eskrick-Parkinson's first run down Whistler ’s track will be a reckoning.

Austin says he has seen the odd athlete get on a plane and go home after their first time going 150 kilometres per hour down it.

“I’m anticipating the same thing. I’re sitting in that sled. My head's down, I'm tucked in, and I'm just going to be taking these corners,” he said.
