Cyrus Gray is a Canadian bobsleigh pilot whose journey from Liberia to the Olympic stage has defined him as one of the most resilient and promising athletes in the sport. Born in Liberia, Gray spent his early childhood amid civil unrest before moving to Duncan, British Columbia, where he grew up playing soccer and basketball. His athleticism carried him to Camosun College, where he excelled as a point guard.
Gray’s introduction to high‑performance sport came through RBC Training Ground, where his power and explosiveness immediately drew interest from both rugby and bobsleigh. He accepted an invitation to train in Whistler, launching a rapid ascent through Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton’s development system. His progress led to selection as an alternate for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, an experience that cemented his commitment to the sport.
Following Beijing 2022, Gray earned a spot on Canada’s top four‑man sled piloted by Taylor Austin, helping the crew win World Cup bronze in Whistler and competing at the 2023 World Championships, finishing 16th in two‑man and 13th in four‑man. In 2023, Gray embraced a new challenge transitioning into the pilot’s seat and spent the current season racing on the North American Cup circuit.
