Geoffrey Travers Mason (May 13, 1902 – January 5, 1987) was an American bobsledder who competed in the 1928 Winter Olympics.
Responding to a newspaper article in Paris, Mason was invited to join the Olympics. Then, nineteen days after seeing a bobsled for the first time, he won a gold medal as part of the victorious U.S. five-man team at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz and came home with the American flag from the event.[1]
Mason was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and died in Rumford, Rhode Island.
