Dave Greszczyszyn is going to his first Winter Olympics.

The 38-year-old from Brampton was nominated to Canada’s skeleton team for the Pyeongchang games during a strong season on the World Cup circuit.

He’s the top Canadian in the World Cup standings, currently ranked 10th overall through eight races. Three of those races were top-10 finishes for Greszczyszyn, who earned his first career World Cup medal, a bronze in Winterberg, Germany in December.

Greszczyszyn, a former teacher at Mayfield Secondary School, also finished 10th at last year’s World Championships in Königssee, Germany. He was the top Canadian finisher at those championships and was also top Canadian at the 2015 and 2016 World Championships.

Greszczyszyn first tried skeleton when he was 27 years old and began competing in the North American Cup circuit the following year.

During the 2011-12 season, he advanced to the Europa Cup and finished second in the overall standings.

This year, Canada is sending its largest ever contingent of bobsleigh and skeleton athletes for an Olympic Winter Games, with a total of 24 athletes (six skeleton and 18 bobsleigh).

Joining Greszczyszyn on the men’s skeleton team are reigning Canadian champion Barrett Martineau and Kevin Boyer.

The Olympics are being held Feb. 9-25.
