Jeff Pain

Jeff Pain

Jeff Pain (born on December 14, 1970 in Anchorage, Alaska) is an American-born, Canadian skeleton racer who has competed since 1995. He is regarded as the most successful male competitors in the history of the Canadian skeleton program.

Pain has had an 11-year career with 15 World Cup podium finishes, 3 World Championship medals, and an Olympic silver medal. This included winning the men's Skeleton World Cup overall title twice (2004-5, 2005-6). He represented Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics where he finished with a silver medal behind fellow Canadian Duff Gibson. One distinguishing feature of Pain's skeleton gear is his custom-painted helmet, depicting the face of an enraged beaver.

Pain also won three medals in the men's skeleton event at the FIBT World Championships with two golds (2003, 2005) and a silver (2001).
