Robert Fagan

Robert "Rob" Fagan (born 29 July 1976) is a Canadian snowboarder. He competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver in the men's snowboard cross competition on 15 February 2010 where he finished in fifth place. While the general impression of the typical snowboard cross athlete is "outgoing, loud, risk taking" Robert Fagan is what to call an exception to the rule as Canada's national team rider is more the quiet athlete concentrating on himself and his sport – and this for quite a while now. Born in 1976 in Cranbrook, Robert had his first contact with snowboarding in the age of three – thanks to a few friends – and quickly found out that this will be his passion ever since; a passion which took over centre stage in his life, a passion on which he put his main focus on, dedicating everything to the sport.
