Roger White was the first Australian male to compete in luge at the Olympics, competing at the 1994 Winter Games at Lillehammer in Norway. White retired from luge racing in 1999 after seven seasons on the World Cup circuit and returned to his fulltime job as a journalist. He has since covered multiple Winter Olympics as a commentator for Australian television networks for the high-speed sliding sports of luge, bobsleigh and skeleton.
