SLED
When two-time Olympian Jayson Terdiman and his partner Chris Mazdzer failed to qualify for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games in doubles, Terdiman gifted their sled - brand new at the beginning of the season - to DiGregorio/Hollander. "Just because my journey is over doesn’t mean this show's going to stop,” Terdiman said. “I want to give our team the best possibility to be successful. And I know that the sled that I own is the fastest equipment in the United States. Its proven itself over and over.”

Terdiman, still mourning his dream of a third Olympics and the end of his career, devoted the weeks leading up to the Games to his younger teammates to teach them everything he can about the sled that was supposed to carry him in Beijing. (mynorthwest.com, 13 Jan 2022)
