CHRIS DEL BOSCO
Born: 03/30/1982 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA)
Sport: Alpine Skiing (Ski Cross)
Chris raced the ski cross final at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter
Games to win. Nearing the finish, he had a choice. He could take
the safe route and grab bronze, but he chose the risky route and
gambled for gold. Unfortunately, the risky route led to a crash that
kept him off the podium. His all-or-nothing attitude could pay off this
time, and he could leave Sochi wearing a gold medal.
JOURNAL ACTIVITY
All of the athletes competing at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games are dedicated to constantly improving
their best. Write about what this attitude means to you. How can you improve your best at the things that you
do? Draw and colour a picture of you improving your best.

KAILLIE HUMPHRIES
Born: 09/04/1985 (Calgary, AB)
Sport: Bobsleigh
Sometimes when one door closes, a better one swings open. When Kaillie
was 16, she realized that she wasn’t a fast enough downhill skier to make
her Olympic dream come true. Instead of letting that stop her, she tried
bobsleigh. Her switch in sports proved golden, as she and her partner,
Heather Moyse, went on to win the Olympic gold in Vancouver. Watch for
her and Chelsea Valois, as they sled for the medals in Sochi.
JOURNAL ACTIVITY
Write a story (true or fiction) about a time when plans changed unexpectedly, and it worked out for the best.
Draw and colour a picture to go along with your story.

JONATHAN TOEWS
Born: 04/29/1988 (Winnipeg, MB)

Jonathan was barely 20 years old when he became the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks. Being a good team captain means leading by example and putting others first. It is a big responsibility.

JOURNAL ACTIVITY
Write about someone who you think is a good leader. Describe the qualities that make them a good leader
