Delete: as insufficiently notable sportsperson. To quote the lede: "Janyk appeared for the Canadian team in the slalom event at the 2006 Winter Olympics, where he finished in 17th place. Janyk has yet to win a World Cup race in his professional career, but has finished second on one occasion". Quis separabit? 13:28, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep As an Olympic competitor he's viewed as automatically being notable.Mdtemp (talk) 07:33, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Needs referencing improvement, but the Olympics are in the rarefied level of sporting events where the mere fact of being present as a competitor, whether one medalled or not, is enough notability for a keep in and of itself. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 17:15, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Not only did he compete in the Olympics, but he is a medalist at the world championships. Not like we are talking about an obscure athlete from a very small nation that finished last, but someone that had a top 20 finish. RonSigPi (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - not exactly a shortage of sources on this one. Plus the nominator suggests that he passes WP:NOLYMPICS even if I hadn't bothered to stick his name into Google - I look forward to the day when users making deletion nominations do the same first - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 22:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
