Curt Tomasevicz is a push athlete of the Two-Man and Four-Man Bobsled competition in the upcoming Winter Olympics. Robert Rees, Co-Host of The Sports Piece.com in Austin, Texas was kind enough to allow me to share the audio taped interview that he and Steve Foster completed just a few days ago with Curt. I thought this would be a great way to connect a voice with the face of this amazing athlete. Curt hails from Shelby, Nebraska and began the sport of bobsled in 2004. He placed sixth in the 4-man bobsled competition with driver Steve Holcomb at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy. In 2007, Tomasevicz won a World Cup gold medal with Holcomb in the 2-man bobsled competition on the same Olympic track. During the 2008-2009 season, he pushed Holcomb to silver and bronze World Cup medals in the 4-man bobsled and a gold medal at the 2009 4-man National Championships. Most recently, he won a silver medal with Holcomb at the inaugural World Cup race in Whistler, Canada, site of the 2010 Olympic Games. Tomasevicz holds a Bachelor and Master's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Astronomy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was named an Academic All Big XII in 2002 and played football for the Cornhuskers from 2000-2003. Click HERE for the interview. Be patient with the download and enjoy!

Hello Michael
Unfortunately I was not able to download the interview.
I'll try again later on.
I would love to hear it!
Take care and enjoy the rest of your day!
Margie:)
Interesting how someone from the plains of Nebraska ends up on a bobsled team...
Margie: It does take a bit of load time, but it is a nice interview. I am sorry you had some difficulty with it, but hope you can try it later. Take care! :)
Sage: Most definitely! As a Midwestern guy myself, I enjoyed hearing about Curt's work ethic! :)
it just goes to show that people who are sucessful in one area are more likely to succeed in other areas. curt is an exceptional athlete, and also a scholar. plus, he comes across in his interview as a nice guy.
thanks for sharing the interview, michael. it'll be fun watching him perform in the olympics!
Seraphine: I agree. Each of the Team USA Bobsled athletes are terrific and they encourage us in our own endeavors!:)
I came back again!
Got it to unload this time.
The interview was great and I really appreciate your sharing it.
Thank you Michael.
Enjoy your day!
Margie:)
Margie: That is great news. I'm happy you enjoyed it!:)
Goes to show that those college football players can do more than just play ball. Most of the NASCAR pit crews are made up of former NCAA D1 football players too. Olympics approach and our coach (Columbus Blue Jackets) lost his job today. He is assisting on Team Canada. I may just have to cross lines and pull for them this year as Hitch did not deserve to be fired today....
DJ Davy: A good point about college football players and the NASCAR crews. While not a Hockey guy, I did see the press conference with Claude Noel.
Onto Whistler! :)
Great interview.
From football to bobsledding, he likes getting banged up.
one more week and they will be all frying down the slides in Vancouver.
A fine interview, as always.
Walker: Kudos to Robert and Steve, indeed! Time is flying by!
Captain Picard: Credit must go to Robert Rees and Steve Foster who allowed me to post this visit. It is always nice to hear from the athletes themselves, yes.
