David Greaves Has Already Won
0
I’ve already written quite recently about A.J. Edelman, the first skeleton athlete to compete in the Olympics for Israel in the history of the program (and, unofficially, the first ever Orthodox Jewish man to compete in the Games). But sometimes lost in the story of the athlete is the story of those who helped get them there, and that’s where David Greaves comes in.
By day, Greaves is a fundraising consultant in Winnipeg, but at night, Greaves is coordinating passport and travel arrangements with his colleagues in Israel in his capacity as the president of the country’s Olympic bobsled-skeleton federation. Administrative duties, scouting, recruitment, fundraising—it’s all under his purview.
