Justin Olsen, born on April 16, 1987, in San Antonio, Texas, is a distinguished American bobsledder who has made significant contributions to the sport since his debut in 2008. A graduate of Sandra Day O'Connor High School, Olsen quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his talent and determination on the international stage.
His remarkable achievements include winning two medals at the 2009 FIBT World Championships held in Lake Placid, New York, where he secured a gold medal in the four-man event and a bronze in the mixed team competition. Olsen's prowess was further highlighted during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, where he clinched a gold medal in the four-man bobsled alongside driver Steve Holcomb.
Despite facing challenges, including a groin injury in June 2013 that sidelined him for two months, Olsen demonstrated resilience. Although he was replaced on his original four-man bobsled team for the 2013–2014 season, he joined a new team with Nick Cunningham, Johnny Quinn, and Dallas Robinson, ultimately finishing twelfth at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
