Two-time Olympian Jeret "Speedy" Peterson has been in a hurry for most of his competitive career, starting with an aerials camp in the mid-Nineties. Coaches said the Idaho native resembled cartoon character "Speed Racer." His enthusiasm paid off, though. He won Junior Worlds medals, then World Cup podiums...and, finally, the 2005 World Cup aerials title.
