He had his best season in 2007-08 by finishing second place in the World Cup and at the world championships in Altenberg, Germany. He was fourth at last year's event in Lake Placid, N.Y. Among his three career World Cup wins was last season's victory at the Whistler Sliding Centre, venue for the Vancouver Games.
