CENTURY 21 Global Conference: An Evening Of Champions

March 18, 2014 By

Tonight the CENTURY 21 Global Conference rolled out the red carpet (well, the gold carpet) for an awards gala celebrating the highest achieving CENTURY 21 teams and producers from around the world.

Guests arrived to a flock of paparazzi snapping away on both sides of the gold, star-studded carpet.

Chief Marketing Officer Bev Thorne and Chief Operating Officer Greg Sexton played co-hosts for the evening, welcoming the brand’s top producers to the stage. A live band played popular rock songs with custom lyrics shouting out each of the top producers.

Pictured below, the number one team, the Marty Rodriguez Team.

In addition to celebrating this year’s award winners, Bev also invited to the stage, four members of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton teams: Chris Fogt, Jamie Gruebel, Lauryn Williams and Matt Antoine.

Chris Fogt, a bronze medalist in the four man bobsled event, shared that in addition to representing USA at the 2010 and 2014 Olympic games, he also served our country in Iraq in between. He joked with the crowd, “What can I say? I like to wear a uniform to work.”

Jamie Gruebel, a bronze medalist, shared that she fell in love in Sochi and will be getting married in August. She said, “It’s so special to have competed in the same Olympic games together and now to be building our life together.”

Lauryn Williams, who took home a silver medal in Sochi, has joined an elite club of U.S. athletes. Lauryn is one of only four Americans to have won a medal in both the winter Olympics and the summer Olympics.

Matt Antoine, a bronze medalist in men’s skeleton, hails from Wisconsin and got a roar of applause from the CENTURY 21 Affiliated team who works in his home state.

After meeting the Bobsled and Skeleton team members, attendees were treated to a unique ballroom dancing performance with a touch of Vegas magic.

It was a beautiful evening of celebration. To see more photos, follow the hashtag #C21GC on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

USA Bobsled/Skeleton: Meet Dallas Robinson

February 7, 2014 By

Today we continue introducing you to the members of the USA Bobsled and Skeleton teams. The CENTURY 21® System is proud to sponsor both teams.

Meet Dallas Robinson, who hails from Georgetown, KY. Dallas started his athletic career in track and field. He was then recruited to play for the USA Rugby team.

After retiring from rugby, Dallas competed in a local track meet, shattering the state record in the 100 meter dash. That success automatically qualified him for the Olympic trials.

On his first trip to Park City, UT for Bobsled try outs, Dallas wound up making the four man Bobsled team. He’s been pushing for pilot Nick Cunningham for the last three years.

Nick and Dallas now also compete in the two man Bobsled event.

USA Bobsled/Skeleton: Sledding 101

February 6, 2014 By

The CENTURY 21® System is proud to sponsor the USA Bobsled and Skeleton teams. Today we hear from Nick Cunningham, who rides in the CENTURY 21 sled about the basics of a great run.

Nick explains, “We have a start cadence so we know when to hit the sled.” He continues, “You can’t win a race at the start line, but you can definitely lose with a bad start.”

So how do they make sure they get off on the right foot?

They have a very specific order. Nick describes, “The pilot (that’s me), jumps in first. The next teammate jumps in two steps after, the third man right after him, then finally, the break man. The break man is the last to jump in, but the first to actually sit down.”

Watch the team practice their perfect start:

USA Bobsled/Skeleton: Meet Curt Tomasevicz

February 5, 2014 By

The CENTURY 21® System is proud to sponsor the USA Bobsled and Skeleton teams. Today we’d like to introduce you to Bobsled team member Curt Tomasevicz.

Curt grew up in Shelby, NB and went on to play college football for the University of Nebraska. He’s become a hometown hero. The town of Shelby put up a billboard in the center of town with his face on it!

In 2006, Curt competed for the gold for the first time. This year will mark this third time at the games.

When asked about the importance of winning in Sochi, Curt said, “The obvious goal is to win another gold medal. Having one gold medal kind of puts things in perspective and gives you the right mind set and the approach to have, but why you get that gold medal might be a bit different. I have a couple teammates right now that don’t have a medal. Most of my motivation is to get them that gold because they deserve to be on that podium as well.”
