Canadian Olympic bobsled champion Justin Kripps is retiring.

Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton announced in a Twitter post that the 35-year-old from Summerland, B.C., was calling it a career, along with two other members of his four-man crew that captured bronze at the Beijing Olympics — Ryan Sommer and Cam Stones.

Kripps raced to gold in the two-man bobsled at the 2018 Games and bronze in the four-man at the Beijing Olympics this past winter.

He also won two silver and three bronze world championship medals in various disciplines over his career.
