It was his day. Tomorrow would have been my day. We're just great competitors and we push ourselves. He had a great push off the first run that helped him get his lead.
"Jeff Pain" is an United States/American-born, Canada/Canadian skeleton (sport)/skeleton racer who has competed since 1995. He is regarded as one of the most successful male competitors in the history of the Canadian skeleton program. He was born in Anchorage, Alaska and his middle name is Thomas.
He graduated from the University of British Columbia, where he was a member of the school's varsity track and field team.
Pain has had an 15-year career with 20 World Cup podium finishes, 3 World Championship medals, and an Olympic silver medal. This included winning the men's List of Skeleton World Cup champions/Skeleton World Cup overall title twice (2004-5, 2005/2006 Skeleton World Cup/2005-6). He first represented Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics/Canada at the 2002 Olympic Winter games finishing 6th, where Skeleton returned after a 54 year hiatus. Then Pain went on to compete in the 2006 Winter Olympics where he finished with a silver medal behind fellow Canadian Duff Gibson. One distinguishing feature of Pain's skeleton gear is his custom-painted helmet, depicting the face of an enraged beaver. Pain was married to his wife Aly in 1997 and they have two sons.

We actually talked about 1-2-3, that was the ultimate dream and the ultimate goal. He was fourth? What do I know.
I don't know if Canada winning both the men's and the women's titles makes a statement going into the Olympics, other than that we're still around. We've had a strong team with this crew of people for a while now ? hopefully it means we have the momentum going in.
We certainly noticed there had been some disappointments in the last week and I'm hoping that maybe Duff and I can provide a little boost in the momentum. Maybe we can roll on from here and get close to the medal count we want.
He always has some of the best lines around and his results this year are at least partly evidence of that. As for his suspension coming now, it is certainly a difficult thing for him to face.
I was lucky that Duff took a chance and from that we've achieved more together than we could have apart.
One of the jokes is there's nothing quite as scary as a nasty beaver. Maybe it'll intimidate the other team. If nothing else, it's good for a laugh.
His personality leans to some 'off-color' type of jokes and some people find him funny and amusing to be around and some people take offense. I doubt he will change who he is and nor should he. ... He has kids and now he has to explain why his sense of humor has cost him.
