    Additional Information

    Start of sporting career
    He took up skeleton in 2008 in Calgary, AB, Canada. (seangreenwoodirishskeleton.com, 20 Nov 2013)

    Reason for taking up this sport
    Previously a rugby player, he had suffered two different shoulder injuries and was looking for a new challenge. He then saw a skeleton event on television and was impressed by the speeds that could be achieved. "Canada Olympic Park was 10 minutes from my house, so I decided to sign up for a skeleton driving school to see if I was any good at it. Addicted would be an understatement." (seangreenwoodirishskeleton.com, 20 Nov 2013)

    Ambitions
    To compete at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. (seangreenwoodirishskeleton.com, 20 Nov 2013)

    General
    DUAL NATIONALITY
    He is a dual citizen of Canada and Ireland [his mother Sibeal Foyle is from Galway]. He originally tried out for the Canada skeleton team, but chose to represent Ireland as there would be more opportunities to race at international level. (canada.com, 24 Jan 2014; seangreenwoodirishskeleton.com, 20 Nov 2013)

    LOST TOBOGGAN
    In November 2013 he travelled to Sochi, Russia, to test the track ahead of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. However, his racing equipment and toboggan got lost in transit before eventually arriving five days later. (independent.ie, 05 Jan 2014)

    PILOT
    He has a commercial helicopter pilot's licence after working for Mountain View Helicopters in Springbank, AB, Canada. (seangreenwoodirishskeleton.com, 20 Nov 2013)
