'''Justin Snith''' (born December 8, 1991, in [Calgary](/source/Calgary), [Alberta](/source/Alberta)) is a Canadian [luger](/source/luge) who has competed since 2008. He has three [World Cup](/source/Luge_World_Cup) doubles podium finishes.

Snith qualified for the [2010 Winter Olympics](/source/2010_Winter_Olympics) with [Tristan Walker](/source/Tristan_Walker), where they finished 15th. Snith also qualified for the [2014 Winter Olympics](/source/2014_Winter_Olympics) in Sochi, Russia. He competed in both the doubles race and the team relay (which made its Olympic debut in 2014). He and his teammate Tristan Walker missed the podium in the doubles event by just five-hundredths (0.05) of a second, achieving the best-ever Olympic result by a Canadian sled in the event. They joined [Alex Gough](/source/Alex_Gough_(luger)) and [Samuel Edney](/source/Samuel_Edney) and had another fourth-place finish in the mixed team relay. The team won silver at the [2013 World Championships](/source/FIL_World_Luge_Championships_2013), following bronze in [2012](/source/FIL_World_Luge_Championships_2012).

Snith,  Gough, Edney and Walker again won silver in the [mixed team relay](/source/Luge_at_the_2018_Winter_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Team_relay) at the [2018 Winter Olympics](/source/2018_Winter_Olympics), at the [Alpensia Sliding Centre](/source/Alpensia_Sliding_Centre) near [Pyeongchang](/source/Pyeongchang), [South Korea](/source/South_Korea).
