Everything about Jamie Greubel’s bullet-like bobsled points to one intention: speed.
The carbon-fiber shell flows smoothly from the hammerhead shark nose. So slick that even dust can’t settle on it, the shimmering body slices through the cold air as the shiny steel skids skim the frozen track like a beam of light skipping off a mirror. And it even sounds fast: Skaroosh!
Jamie knows all about speed. This Shaklee Pure Performance Team member has been swooshing down ice chutes as a member of the U.S. Bobsled team since 2007, and she’s currently streaking toward the 2014 Sochi Games in February.
“I’ve been chasing this dream for a huge part of my adult life,” said the Cornell University grad, “and now it seems like I can’t get there fast enough.”
But with the opening ceremony fast approaching, Jamie is right on track to reach her dreams. She’s developed into one of America’s top bobsled pilots and her recent successes include a bronze medal at the World Cup in Calgary in November, as well as a first place finish at the North American Cup.
Having recently returned from intense training sessions on the bobsled track in Sochi, Jamie is thrilled about the possibilities at the Games. “The track offers several challenges with its technical curves and uphill sections, but good teams will bring in some wicked times and I feel very comfortable on that ice,” she explained. “In my mind, I’m already there, and we’re going fast!”
A multisport athlete while at Cornell University, her transition to bobsled went smoothly.. But her greatest asset isn’t merely physical—it’s her mental strength and unrelenting desire to succeed.
Though she flashes a smile that her helmet can barely contain and her soft-spoken nature is anything but icy, Jamie Greubel is a model of steely resolve, fortitude, and jubilant competitiveness that just might power her across that finish line in Sochi faster than anyone else. “That’s my goal,” Jamie said. “I know that nothing of great worth comes easy, and people can accomplish anything they set their mind to.”
