TEAM USA: Who is Jayson Teridman?

He's one to watch in the Winter Olympics and he's from Pennsylvania.

Jayson Teridman is a luge athlete from Berwick, near Wilkes-Barre.

Teridman does the doubles luge and had a different partner in Sochi. Now, he's paired up with Matt Mortenson.

The two said that, the minute they started working together, they knew they could go for gold.

"There were two teams that were already, had been training back at Lake Placid that are younger than we are and, round one, we were kind of whooping on them pretty quickly, which was also fun."

Doubles luge partners have to be very close. They lie on top of each other to go down the track and, off the ice, they live together while they're competing.
