With Brian Martin and Mark Grimmette crashing in Turin, Griffall and Joye were the top American finishers there. Griffall now races with Matt Mortensen, and the pair took ninth in men's doubles at the 2009 world championships in Lake Placid. Griffall, who grew up near the Utah Olympic Park, began sliding as an 11-year-old after learning that Salt Lake City won the right to host the 2002 Olympics.
