The other day I was talking to a Canadian gentleman, and he mentioned in passing an apparently well-known Canadian amateur athlete by name. Apparently this gentleman is not particularly good at athletics but regularly attempts events like the ski jump, occasionally severely hurting or disfiguring himself in the process, and is some sort of minor celebrity. Apparently he was fairly recently denied a place at the Vancouver games.

I'm interested in learning more about this strange fellow, but I forgot what his name was. Can anyone help me find him?
