Why not me? | Jon Montgomery | TEDxWhistler

How can you gain the confidence to achieve your dreams? As a gold medal Olympian in the Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Olympics, Jon Montgomery tells how he gained the perspective that enabled him to become one of the top athletes in the world.

Jon Montgomery won a gold medal in skeleton during the 2010 Winter Olympics. His now-famous victory walk through Whistler Village while enjoying a golden pitcher of beer handed to him by a fan (his “beer angel”) gave Jon instant folk-hero status with Canadians from coast-to-coast. Jon has appeared on Oprah, co-hosted the JUNO Awards, and been the memorable host of The Amazing Race Canada since 2013. Jon Montgomery won a gold medal in skeleton during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
