Jeremy Rolleston
Australian winter Olympian Jeremy Rolleston is an inspiring and engaging personality with exceptional sporting, business and life achievement. He is a role model for determination, motivation, perseverance, and inner strength and draws upon a lifetime of heartaches and successes to inspire others to follow their dreams and achieve 'success' that transcends sport into business and life in general.
Jeremy regards representing his country as the ultimate honour and has represented his country in two sports - rugby and bobsleigh. At the recent XX Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy Jeremy piloted Australia's 2-man bobsleigh to the equal best-ever Australian result. This was even more remarkable considering it was his first full-season as a pilot. Along the way Jeremy has competed at two World Championships, won the 2006 Challenge Cup and competed at numerous World Cup and other races, as both pilot and brakeman. Now he has his sights set on the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada and is in full training to compete in his second Olympics.
During his rugby days, Jeremy played in numerous representative teams including the Australian Legends team, the Australian Universities team and the Australian B (Legends) sevens side, before a heart-breaking injury in the Fiji Sevens prevented him from playing for Australia in the sevens world cup at the Hong Kong Sevens. Following that disappointment he played professionally for Italian side Rovigo in the European Shield and Italian Championships before retiring to pursue bobsleigh.
Off the field and away from the ice, Jeremy is an intelligent and articulate individual, who is as passionate about life as he is his sport. He won scholarships to both school and university and throughout his sport career he has maintained a successful corporate career. He has just left his job as an Executive Director at prestigious investment banking firm Goldman Sachs JB Were to train full time for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver 2010. Interestingly he is also founder and producer of one of Sydney's largest fashion shows – the Propeller Fashion Show.
