"2002 was an incredibly
blessed and incredibly busy year for me. To win here in Salt Lake,
and to be able to share this with my wife and so many friends and family
members here in my hometown made it all the more special. I spent
my whole life, in one sport or another, just a few minutes away from where
I was awarded the (Olympic Silver) medal. I couldn't have asked for
more!"
As a former football
and track & field star Billy's explosive power on the field made him
a natural fit for bobsled. Despite only getting into the sport in
October of 2000 his unparalleled strength caught the attention of the US
Bobsled coaching staff in a hurry, and eighteen months later his 225 lbs.
frame was proudly weighed down by his first Olympic medal. For Billy,
there was no better place on earth to succeed than in Salt Lake City, that's
where he was born, raised, and now lives with his new family. He
is currently training for in Park City, UT and Lake Placid, NY for a shot
at Olympic Gold at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torrino Italy.
Billy is also the first ever Puerto-Rica to win a Winter Olympic medal!
