Peter's early introduction to sport came as a dancer, both in ballet and Irish Step Dancing. From there he moved into track and field before being selected for the Irish Bobsleigh team at the 1998 Winter Games of Nagano, Japan, and the 2002 Winter Games of Salt Lake City, USA.
Speaking about his career in sport, Donoghue says, "There are no words to describe how it feels to represent your Country, your family, and yourself on the international stage. It's one of the most extraordinary experiences an athlete can ever have. To perform your best in front of millions of people is both frightening and exciting."
"It's truly an honour and a privilege. Being an Olympian and the journey to get there teaches you how to be a strong team player, display good sportsmanship, develop a positive relationship with "failure," and learn that failure is not an end but a learning experience on your way to a better future. I learned so much on the road to the Olympics and owe so much to that experience."
