Notes

The most decorated bobsledder in Canadian history, Pierre Lueders competed for Canada as early as 1990 and appeared at five Winter Olympics from 1994 through 2010.He was the pilot of the Canadian two-man bobsleigh (teamed with Dave MacEachern) that won the gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics (shared with the Italian duo of Günther Huber and Antonio Tartaglia). This was only Canada's second-ever medal in bobsleigh, and the first since Vic Emery led his four-man crew to victory in 1964. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, he won a silver medal with his brakeman Lascelles Brown.
