Colton Clarke

Colton’s days are full balancing the difficult life of being a student-athlete – commuting between training and competing around the world, while attending school in the community where he lives, Airdire, Alta.

His introduction to luge was presented under the Christmas tree in 2017 when his mom gave him a gift to take a public luge run. Little did he know it was the foundation of his Olympic dream.

Hooked on the speed, technicality and adrenaline of the sport, he was encouraged to attend a summer training session and never looked back.

Colton proved there is a changing of the guard in the Canadian luge circles in 2018-19 when he captured the men’s Canadian Championship title, earning him a spot on Canada’s World Cup squad.

A high-achiever both on the track and in school, Colton is determined to achieve excellence in all that he does. He enjoys hanging out with friends and loves making people laugh.
