    Michael Douglas (skeleton racer)

    Michael Douglas (born March 31, 1971) is a Canadian skeleton racer who has competed since 2006. He played football and competed in track whilst at University in Toronto, and at the age of 30 he was discovered by racer Pascal Richard. He competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics but was disqualified before his first run for failing to remove the covers off the runner guards of his sled.

    Early life

    Douglas was born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in Kleinburg. He attended King City Secondary School, from which he graduated in 1990. He studied at Fanshawe College and went on to play Canadian football for the University of Toronto as a cornerback. He gave up football after as backup to the first team and moved onto athletics instead, a decision he says he has since regretted as the football team went on to win the Vanier Cup three years later, with a team that featured several players who too were backup players when Douglas was on the team.

    Skeleton racing

    Skeleton racer Pascal Richard spotted Douglas playing soccer and suggested he try skeleton instead, resulting in Douglas starting to race at the age of 30. He started on the European circuit in 2004, and moved to the World Cup circuit in 2007. He failed to qualify for the 2008 team by two tenths of a second, resulting in him being removed from the team. He returned in the 2009–10 season, taking the place of Keith Loach, who he beat again in a two race runoff to join Jeff Pain and Jon Montgomery in the Olympic team.

    Famous quotes by Michael Douglas:

    "I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work."
    "There was a lot of tabloid journalism about my supposed sex addiction. Bullshit. It's all bullshit. I mean, come on, I never pretended to be a saint. But give me a break."
    "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good! Greed is right! Greed works! Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms."
    "[Being single] is pretty good. It's a nice sense of irresponsibility."
    "Suddenly you've worked yourself up to the top of the pecking order and you say to yourself, okay, this is going to be fun."
    "She is such a tremendous spokesperson for Britain in general, and Wales in particular, that it hurt to see how she was treated in this whole process."
    "Everything's so repressive now - it's the No generation. You can't do anything, you can't eat anything, you have to abstain."
    "The scene sprawled over a couple blocks; it was a very chaotic scene."
    "It so amazes you how much stage fright you get. I've been in front of cameras all my life, but that first tee, standing over that ball that's not even moving, it's scarier than doing a movie."
    "People seem to let their hair down a little bit and loosen their ties. And there is a lot of give and share that's going on both in front on the panels and behind."
    "I've always tried to kind of stretch my wings as an actor and do things that are different."
    "There's nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to force a person to re-evaluate his life."
