In February 2026, Jared “The Jewish Jet” Firestone represented Israel in skeleton at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, proudly serving as Team Israel's flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony.
Today, he brings the lessons of that journey to life through speaking, educational programs, and interactive experiences that inspire people to pursue ambitious goals, overcome challenges, and turn purpose into action.
Jared Firestone is a 2026 Olympian, Team Israel Flagbearer, and Israel's first World Championships finalist in skeleton.
After surviving a mini-stroke during law school, Jared rebuilt his life around an unlikely goal: representing Israel at the Olympic Games. He discovered skeleton at 26, won Israel's first international gold medal in the sport, and ultimately fulfilled his Olympic dream at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games.
Today, Jared shares the lessons from that journey through speaking, interactive experiences, and educational programs focused on purpose, resilience, performance, and turning ambitious goals into action.
