Yohan Eskrick-Parkinson fera ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Milano Cortina 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskrick-Parkinson a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 ses premiers Championnats du monde de l\u2019IBSF en 2025, obtenant une 15e<\/sup> place en bob \u00e0 quatre avec le pilote Pat Norton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Il est mont\u00e9 au sommet du podium \u00e0 ses deux premi\u00e8res courses en carri\u00e8re lorsqu\u2019il a remport\u00e9 les \u00e9preuves \u00e0 quatre de la Coupe nord-am\u00e9ricaine avec le pilote Taylor Austin \u00e0 Whistler en novembre 2024, quelques mois seulement apr\u00e8s son premier essai en bobsleigh. La premi\u00e8re victoire a \u00e9galement fait d\u2019eux les champions panam\u00e9ricains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Il a ensuite fait ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 la Coupe du monde IBSF en janvier 2025, o\u00f9 il a principalement particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve \u00e0 quatre. Son meilleur r\u00e9sultat en Coupe du monde a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en d\u00e9cembre 2025, une septi\u00e8me place dans l\u2019\u00e9quipage \u00e0 quatre d\u2019Austin \u00e0 Lillehammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le bobsleigh n\u2019est pas la premi\u00e8re exp\u00e9rience d\u2019Eskrick-Parkinson en sport de haut niveau : il a fait la transition vers ce sport apr\u00e8s une carri\u00e8re fructueuse en tant que plongeur. Il a particip\u00e9 aux Jeux d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 du Canada 2017 et repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Northwestern aux Championnats Big Ten avant de tenter sa chance pour repr\u00e9senter la Jama\u00efque sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Il a particip\u00e9 aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de Santiago en 2023, ainsi qu\u2019aux Championnats du monde World Aquatics en 2023 et 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n D\u00e9buts :<\/strong> il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 pratiquer le bobsleigh \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 24 ans apr\u00e8s sa carri\u00e8re de plongeur. Il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 encourag\u00e9 \u00e0 faire cette transition par son entra\u00eeneur en conditionnement physique, le bobeur olympique canadien Lascelles Brown. \u00c0 sa premi\u00e8re descente sur la piste glac\u00e9e dans le bob de Taylor Austin, il riait tellement qu\u2019il a distrait le pilote et la descente a \u00e9t\u00e9 plus mouvement\u00e9e que pr\u00e9vue. Il est inspir\u00e9 par son co\u00e9quipier de plongeon, l\u2019olympien Yona Knight-Widsom, qui lui a enseign\u00e9 le mode de vie d\u2019un athl\u00e8te de haut niveau. Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats :<\/strong> il a obtenu son dipl\u00f4me en neuroscience de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Northwestern en 2022. Il pr\u00e9voit poursuivre ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 la facult\u00e9 de m\u00e9decine. Il aime la photographie et il voyage toujours avec sa cam\u00e9ra. Il travaille \u00e0 temps partiel comme \u00e9diteur photo et vid\u00e9o.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yohan Eskrick-Parkinson fera ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Milano Cortina 2026.
