From the Back Cover

Your breath shall be visible atop the mountain...

As four-time Olympian and World Champion, Chris Lori, leads you through the icy corners of his glorious and relentless career as a Canadian Bobsled driver... your helmet strapped on, your eyes upon an icy chute... through the unknown world of amateur sport and the recurring cyclone of Olympic hypocrisy.

...your body ready, your intensity unbreakable... through adversity, team polotics and horrific accidents, through twenty-two World Cup medals, twelve Canadian Championship Titles and a heart breaking 4th place finish at the Alberville Games.

...you will be Fiercely Driven by the unrelenting Olympic dream.
