Every year the Horizon School Division inducts graduates from schools within the Division into their Wall of Fame.

This year one of the inductees was retired bobsledder, Lyndon Rush.

He tells us what got him into bobsledding.

"After my football career, I got invited to try bobsledding. Canada had just won the bid for the Vancouver Olympic Games."

Originally a football player for the U of S Huskies, it was his first time he tried bobsledding.

"I ended up being pretty good," he said. "I caught on really quick, I went through the ranks and ended up being Canada's number one team going into the 2010 games."

Rush earned himself a bronze medal in the four-man bobsleigh event at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, after a disappointing finish in the two-man event.

As a graduate of Humboldt Collegiate Institute Rush explains how his teachers and coaches helped him get to the Olympics.

"They taught me the things that I needed later in my bobsledding career. They taught me how to win."

Rush spoke at the Horizon School Division Opening Day Celebration on Friday about his experience in the Olympics.
