Jon Montgomery
Jon Montgomery won Olympic gold in men's skeleton at the 2010 Vancouver Games, delivering one of the signature home-country moments of those Games and becoming one of Canada's most celebrated individual Winter Olympic champions of that cycle. His victory, decided by hundredths of a second over Latvia's Martins Dukurs, produced one of the most dramatic final-heat finishes in skeleton's Olympic history and turned Montgomery into an instant national celebrity within Canada following the Games. His post-retirement career as a television personality and public figure helped raise skeleton's general public profile in Canada well beyond what the sport's typically small niche audience usually receives between Olympic cycles. His combination of a signature home-Olympics gold medal and his role raising skeleton's mainstream profile in Canada has made Montgomery one of the sport's most publicly recognizable champions.
VS
Amy Williams
Amy Williams won Olympic gold in women's skeleton at the 2010 Vancouver Games, becoming Britain's first individual Winter Olympics gold medalist in 30 years and establishing the foundation that Britain's subsequent skeleton dominance, including Lizzy Yarnold's later titles, was built on. Her victory came as a considerable underdog result at the time, won on a notoriously fast and technically demanding Whistler track that had already produced a fatal accident in another sliding discipline during the same Games, adding real weight to her margin of victory. Williams's success helped validate UK Sport's skeleton talent recruitment approach years before it produced Yarnold's back-to-back titles, giving the British program its first major proof of concept at the Olympic level. Her combination of a historic breakthrough Olympic gold and her foundational role in Britain's subsequent skeleton dominance has made Williams one of the sport's most significant pioneering champions.
