In February 2026, Jared “The Jewish Jet” Firestone OLY Esq. brought Israel to the world stage at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games. That was just the beginning.
Now, Jared continues his journey through speaking engagements and proprietary educational programs, aiming to inspire others.
[ About Me ]
Jared Firestone is a 2026 Olympian and Israel’s first World Championships finalist in sliding sports.
After surviving a mini-stroke during law school, Jared rebuilt his life with one goal: to compete for Israel on the world stage. He went on to win Israel’s first gold medal in skeleton, qualify for the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, and serve as Israel’s flagbearer in the Opening Ceremonies.
Today, Jared focuses on leading the innovative programs he’s created to inspire people to build resilience, achieve their goals, embrace their identity, and turn adversity into competitive advantage — on the track and in life.
