Athletic career
First-time Olympian Charles Ryan Leveille is a versatile skater, having participated on the inline and short-track circuits before dedicating himself to the long track. After just two months of training for short track, Leveille—who competed as Ryan Cox in inline and short track—earned a bronze medal in the 500m and 3000m at the 2004 U.S. Championships. The Chattanooga native's progress was delayed just months after Nationals when he broke his back in a freak short track accident and spent four months in a full-body cast.[1] Leveille switched to long track in August 2005.[2]
After competing in long track for just a few months, Leveille finished 10th overall at the 2005 U.S. Championships and qualified for the 2006 Fall World Cup Team. He earned a silver in the 10,000m and ranked third in the men's allround standings at the 2006 U.S. Championships.[1]
He competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics, in both the team pursuit and the 10,000 meter events.[3] He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
As part of the US World Championship team in Gangneung, South Korea, he competed 3/7-3/9/08. Leveille won a bronze medal in the 1500m race, as well as a silver medal in the 3000m superfinal.
