Rudy Rinaldi (born 18 August 1993) is a Monegasque bobsledder. He competed in the two-man event at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[2] In January 2022, Rinaldi qualified to compete for Monaco at the 2022 Winter Olympics in the two-man bob event.[3][4] Rinaldi and Boris Vain finished sixth in Beijing, 0.56 seconds back of the bronze medalists Christoph Hafer and Matthias Sommer; this is the closest any athlete from Monaco has won an Olympic medal in an actual sporting event. (Julien Médecin won a bronze medal for architecture at the 1924 Olympics, but the IOC no longer considers art competition medals as part of the official tally).
