New lifestyle benefiting Canada’s Christopher Spring ahead of bobsled season
Canadian bobsled pilot Christopher Spring decided at the end of the summer that he was going to dramatically change his lifestyle.
He sold his car, got rid of the majority of his belongings and purchased a GMC Savannah van, which he now calls home.
“I just saw how much I don’t need things in my life anymore,” Spring said from Whistler, B.C. “I gave away three-quarters of all my Olympic gear from the last two Olympics. I just gave it away to friends, family, whoever. And then gave away bags and bags of winter clothes, and snow gear and whatever, gave it to charity and people in need.
“I just have a few things that I need and a few memories that I cherish and that’s it for me, man.”
