Leo MARTIN

Saranac Lake’s Leo Martin rode as brakeman for Tuffy Latour at the 1948 Winter Olympics. Martin was from a renowned bobsled family, as the son of Robert Martin, who slid at the 1936 Winter Olympics, and the brother of Pat Martin, who won multiple US and North American titles and competed at the 1948 and 1952 Winter Olympics. Leo Martin’s only US Championship came in the 1940 4-man, on a sled driven by Katherine Dewey, the only woman to win a US bobsled title in open races.
