==Career==
Raised in San Diego, Governor's Island, Fremont, Scotts Valley, Bellingham, and Sumas, Young was paralyzed in a plane crash in Alaska while serving in the United States Coast Guard in 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usparalympics.org/athletes/chris-devlin-young )〕 He learned to ski at the (National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic ) in 1986 as a "four-tracker," standing on two skis while using outriggers. He was named to the U.S. Disabled Ski Team in 1989 and competed in the 1990 Disabled Skiing World Championships in Winter Park, Colorado, winning a silver medal and two bronzes in the LW-1 class. Devlin-Young missed the 1992 Winter Paralympic team but qualified for the 1994 Games in Lillehammer, Norway, where he won gold in the slalom.
In 1995 Devlin-Young began a two-year hiatus from racing, and when he returned to the sport in 1997 it was as a monoskier. He missed the 1998 Winter Paralympics in Nagano, Japan but came back in 2002 with another gold, this time in super G, along with a silver in downhill. With that performance he became the first skier ever to win a Paralympic gold medal in two different disability classes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usskiteam.com/adaptive/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1088 )〕 He repeated his downhill performance in 2006, placing second behind teammate Kevin Bramble. In 2015 he won the Mono Skier X (X-Games).
