Cecchini was originally a member of the Canadian skeleton team, but was unlikely to make an Olympic team and so switched to Italy, of which he was eligible for citizenship, as his mother is Italian. Although considered an outside contender initially, an injury to Cecchini's national team teammate prior to the Olympic season paved the way for Cecchini's selection to the Olympic team.
