Steven Holcomb was an American bobsledder who competed at an international level from 1998 until his death in 2017. He won gold in the four-man event at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and silver in both the four-man and two-man event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. These medals were upgraded to silver on March 27, 2019, when the International Olympic Committee stripped Russian pilot, Alexander Zubkov, of his gold medal due to the Russian doping scandal. He majored in Computer Science at both the University of Utah and the University of Phoenix's online program. Holcomb died in his sleep at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York on May 6, 2017, aged 37.
