Meet 22-year-old Luka Stoikos, set to represent Team Canada in the 4-man bobsleigh event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina. After four years of football with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and a CFL draft pick that didn’t go as planned, Luka made a bold pivot. In just over a year in bobsleigh, he earned his place on Canada’s national team. In this episode, Luka opens up about changing lanes at the highest level, the mindset behind elite performance, and what it means to step onto the Olympic stage representing Canada.
