Early Life

Career

Chris MazdzerHe had previously competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2014 Winter Olympics. But, it was in the 2018 Winter Olympics that Mazdzer created a name for himself and gave the U.S. a silver medal in the Men’s Single Luge. He is also the first ever non-European to have a medal in this event.

Behind the massive success that Mazdzer has had, there is also a lot of financial problems and obstacles that athletes have to face. Sports like luge, along with other sports such as curlers, ski jumpers, and Nordic combined athletes have to juggle training along with part-time jobs in order to sustain their livelihood.

Mazdzer has had such experiences where he has had to scrape for money in order to make sure that the bills are paid for equipment, training, and hotels when travelling. Being exposed to having to manage such a tight budget has motivated Mazdzer to start a career as a financial planner so that other athletes and managers do not have to worry about their finances coming in between in achieving their goals.

He is currently preparing to become a certified financial planner and with his own personal experience about having to manage a very tight budget for long-term camps, Mazdzer looks to be on the right path in his career. Along with this career, he also has eyes on competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics that are set to happen in Beijing.

After his historic win at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Mazdzer became a male crush who went viral on the Internet. Soon, many memes were made in Twitter which depicted the beauty that Mazdzer possessed. He even went on to confess how he get many sexual DM’s on his social media sites from both males and females. Many among the gay community have apparently taken to look at Mazdzer as a god, which Mazdzer himself might not find to be very pleasing.

But, it has definitely helped to establish his name and create an impression among the people in America. This might be one of the reasons why he is now set to be a part of the reality show called Dancing with the Stars in its 26th season. He is set to appear in the show along with professional dancer Witney Carson.
