'''Reid Watts''' (born December 22, 1998) is a Canadian luger.<ref>[http://www.luge.ca/en/team/?id=83 Luge Canada profile]</ref>
'''Reid Watts''' (born December 22, 1998 in [[Whistler, British Columbia]]<ref>[http://www.luge.ca/en/team/?id=83 Luge Canada profile]</ref>) is a Canadian luger.Reid s'est passionné pour le sport de la luge après avoir vu une course de bobsleigh s'abattre sur le centre de glisse de Whistler. Peu de temps après, sa mère l'a inscrit à un camp de recrutement parce qu'il demandait toujours à revenir sur la piste. Reid a pris sa première course, et c'était la plus grande course de sa vie. Il n'a jamais regardé en arrière et est maintenant membre de l'équipe nationale senior du Canada qui a démontré un énorme potentiel.



Reid a eu une saison exceptionnelle en 2016 où son nom a été gravé dans les livres d'histoire en tant que premier Canadien à avoir remporté une médaille aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de la jeunesse à Lillehammer, en Norvège. Reid a glissé à la médaille de bronze en simple masculin.



Reid a attribué la performance historique à Luge Canada et à sa piste locale - Whistler Sliding Centre - qui l'a initié au sport. Luge Canada a offert à Reid une opportunité de se joindre à l'équipe de la Coupe du monde pour trois courses, ce qui représente un potentiel énorme après avoir remporté sept médailles sur le circuit de la Coupe du monde junior avant d'atteindre les rangs supérieurs. préparer l'adolescent prometteur, et la nation, pour un tir sur le podium luge des Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse.



Le lieu qui a présenté Watts et un bassin grandissant de bébés héritiers sur la côte ouest du Canada aux sports de glisse a également été précieux.



En dehors de la luge, Reid aime faire du vélo et du ski. Il fréquente l'école à Whistler Secondary.
