Jon Montgomery Biography

Jon Montgomery captured the hearts of Canadians and the attention of everyone during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. After years of hard work, training and perseverance, Montgomery won a gold medal in the skeleton, securing his place in history as one of the best. Since then, he has embraced his role as a motivational speaker and charity auctioneer, often sharing his journey from the flatlands of the prairies to the top of the Olympic podium.

In 2002, a casual trip to Canada Olympic Park left an indelible mark on Montgomery. While on a tour of the Park with his family, Montgomery witnessed a skeleton race, and immediately fell in love with the sport. Shortly after discovering the sport, he began competing competitively, enjoying quick success with his development and advancement in the sport. Apart from his athletic achievements, Montgomery is the award-winning host of "The Amazing Race Canada," integrating his love for adventure and competition into television.

In 2005-06, Montgomery became the first Canadian man to win the Europa Cup Overall men’s title, and is now considered one of Canada’s top skeleton athletes. He has developed several keynote programs, including "Dreaming Big... And Believing It's Possible," "Innovation and Realism," "Jon’s Olympic Journey," "Teamwork," and "Self-efficacy," through which he encourages audiences to leverage simple tools to work together, live life outside their comfort zones, develop grit, and believe in themselves.

Montgomery’s start to his rookie season on the World Cup could not have been drawn more perfectly, and he kicked off his World Cup campaign with a bronze-medal finish on his home track in Calgary. Montgomery went on to finish in the top-10 three more times during the season, finishing sixth overall in the World Cup standings. His presentations emphasize the importance of attitude control and self-belief in achieving personal and professional goals. Montgomery resides in Victoria, BC.

On February 19, 2010, Montgomery won his first Olympic Gold medal at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics at the Whistler Sliding Centre. His celebratory walk through the streets of Whistler will be remembered by many for years to come. Fans were delighted that Montgomery’s personality shone through following his victory; his determination, unwavering love for Canada and sense of humour have made him a favourite.

His popularity transcends into his Discovery Network reality travel show airing November 2010, "Best. Trip. Ever.", where Montgomery and his adrenaline-seeking peers drive across British Columbia searching for adventure and extreme sport 'fix'. When not training or competing, Montgomery engages in storytelling and charity auctioneering during his appearances.
