Bobsleigh athlete Anthony Ryan has experienced the absolute lows and the highs of Olympic selection this week. A few days ago the Australian Olympic Committee was told they would not receive a quota place for the four-man bobsleigh at the Vancouver Games, which meant he would be working as a high school teacher and not making his Olympic debut.
