Neville Wright a mis la main pour la premi\u00e8re fois sur un bobsleigh \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2009. Moins d\u2019un an plus tard, il devenait membre de l\u2019\u00e9quipage du bob \u00e0 quatre pilot\u00e9 par Pierre Lueders<\/a> aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver de Vancouver 2010. C\u2019est en athl\u00e9tisme que s\u2019est amorc\u00e9e la carri\u00e8re sportive de Neville. Il a particip\u00e9, en tant que sprinter, aux Championnats du monde 2007 de l\u2019IAAF au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de relais 4×100 m et a remport\u00e9 le bronze au 100 m aux Jeux mondiaux universitaires.<\/p>\n

Toutefois, apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9chou\u00e9 dans sa tentative de se qualifier pour Beijing 2008, il s\u2019est mis \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019un autre sport. Apr\u00e8s avoir pouss\u00e9 le bob \u00e0 quatre vers une 5e<\/sup> place \u00e0 Vancouver 2010, Neville a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 remplir son r\u00f4le de pilier au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe canadienne de bobsleigh en participant aux Championnats du monde de 2011, 2012 et 2013, principalement dans l\u2019\u00e9quipage du Canada-1 pilot\u00e9 par Lyndon Rush<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 Sotchi 2014, il a fait partie de l\u2019\u00e9quipage de Lyndon qui s\u2019est class\u00e9 neuvi\u00e8me \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve de bob \u00e0 quatre. Apr\u00e8s ces Jeux, Neville a fait une pause prolong\u00e9e du bobsleigh avant d\u2019y revenir pour la saison 2016-2017. Il a pouss\u00e9 Nick Poloniato<\/a> jusqu\u2019\u00e0 une 5e<\/sup> place remarquable \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve de bob \u00e0 deux aux Championnats du monde de 2017. Neville est mont\u00e9 quatre fois sur le podium de la Coupe du monde au cours de la saison 2017\u20112018, exploit soulign\u00e9 par une m\u00e9daille d\u2019or en bob \u00e0 deux avec Christopher Spring<\/a> en novembre \u00e0 Whistler.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 PyeongChang 2018, Neville et ses co\u00e9quipiers Christopher Spring<\/a>, Lascelles Brown<\/a> et Bryan Barnett<\/a> ont termin\u00e9 au 16e<\/sup> rang en bob \u00e0 quatre.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9buts :<\/strong> Il a commenc\u00e9 la pratique de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 7 ans. Il a particip\u00e9 aux Championnats du monde de l\u2019IAAF en 2007. Il a \u00e9galement concouru en athl\u00e9tisme aux Jeux mondiaux universitaires de 2005 et de 2007. Il s\u2019est essay\u00e9 au bobsleigh pour la premi\u00e8re fois \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2009.<\/p>\n

Son r\u00eave olympique est n\u00e9 quand il a vu le Canada gagner l\u2019or au relais 4×100 m \u00e0 Atlanta 1996. Il cr\u00e9e sa liste musicale de comp\u00e9tition la journ\u00e9e avant la course.

Son meilleur souvenir olympique est celui du soutien des partisans lorsqu\u2019il concourait aux Jeux. Devise favorite : Je le peux, je le fais, je le ferai.
