On your mark, get set…. GO!
For the past three weeks, teams have been racing within the borders of Canada to kick off Amazing Race Canada’s inaugural season. The teams have bungee jumped in Niagara Falls, rested at a winery in Kelowna, British Columbia, drank tea in Vancouver’s Chinatown and line-danced in Drumheller, Alberta. The winning team of the Amazing Race Canada will run away with a $250,000 cash payout and a free year of flying with Air Canada.
The Amazing Race Canada is hosted by prospeakers.com speaker, Jon Montgomery. Jon Montgomery captured the hearts of Canadians and the attention of everyone during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. After years of hard work, training and perseverance, Montgomery won a gold medal in the skeleton, securing his place in history as one of the best.
Jon Montgomery’s life has been a whirlwind since his Olympic win in skeleton, his big-time podium moment to get the gold medal, and his now-famous victory walk through Whistler Village. But he’s about more than just the frosty, golden beer that gave him instant folk-hero status with so many Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
From an appearance on Oprah, to the overwhelming homecoming in Russell, Manitoba, and from appearing in his own adventure travel television show and a presentation at the Juno Awards, Jon has been sharing his Olympic success with as many Canadians as possible. He’s also committed to defending his gold medal in Sochi 2014 and will look to share his Olympic experience with wife Darla Deschamps Montgomery, also a World Cup medalist in skeleton.
But before Sochi, Jon guides the teams on the Amazing Race Canada through roadblocks, detours and checks them into their next pit stop.
