Kyle Heikkila (born 12 December 1971) is a United States Virgin Islands retired luger who competed at the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics, finishing in 29th and 23rd, respectively.[1][2] He carried his country's flag during the opening ceremony of the 1994 Games in Lillehammer.[3] Before the competition, Heikkila said of the Lillehammer Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track: "It's a really nice track. It's easy to get down, but it's difficult to get down quickly. I prefer luge tracks; this is not really a luge track."[4] Following his men's singles competition, the University of Antilles student said: "I'm really glad luge is one of the first competitions. You get it over with and relax," adding that he was looking forward to shopping, sightseeing and partying.[5]
