About Corie
Corie Mapp is the reigning World Champion and Overall World Cup winner, as well as a multiple World Cup medalist and former European Champion.
Corie had an astonishing 60 top-tier medals to his name by the end of the 2024/25 sliding season after adding eight to his tally last term, including a maiden World Championship gold in St Moritz in February.
He won his second successive Overall World Cup crown last season, backing up his win from 2023/24 and making it a hat-trick of triumphs following his first success back in 2018.
Corie narrowly missed out on a clean sweep of major titles two seasons ago as he won World Championship bronze in addition to his Overall World Cup and European Championship golds.
That European Championship win in 2024 was the second continental crown of Corie's career after his opening triumph in 2019, having previously collected four European silvers and a bronze since 2017.
He has finished second in the Overall World Cup competition on four occasions and been third twice since making his debut for Great Britain in 2015.
A Lance Corporal in the British Army, Corie lost both legs when his military vehicle ran over an explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010. Among other injuries, he suffered a broken jaw, severed lip and punctured lung but three years later he was representing Great Britain at the European Championships for sitting volleyball.
He took part in the Invictus Games in 2014 and it was Help the Heroes that introduced him to bobsleigh at a trial camp in Calgary a year earlier.
