}} John Fennell (born May 28, 1995 in Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian luger who has competed since 2011.〔(John Fennell at Canada Luge )〕 He competed for Canada in the first ever Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, where he finished 7th, and at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia,〔(Calgary's John Fennell makes first Olympic luge team ). ''Calgary Sun'', December 17, 2013.〕 finishing 27th. He is the son of former Canadian Football League player Dave Fennell.〔("Luger John Fennell tells the world he's gay" ). ''Regina Leader-Post'', May 28, 2014.〕 In May 2014, several months after competing at Sochi, Fennell came out as gay.〔 Fennell competed well at the Sochi Olympics, but since he did not finish in the top 10, he is now only partially funded by the Canadian Luge Association. As a result, in order to fulfil his funding needs, Fennell launched a fundraising campaign on the sports crowdfunding platform, (MAKEACHAMP ) on December 12th, 2014. 〔http://makeachamp.com/johncanluge〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Fennell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
