Grimm won a gold medal in the K1 event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
He also won three gold medals in the K1 team event at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships, earning them in 2007, 2010 and 2011. He won a total of eight medals at the European Championships (2 golds, 5 silvers and 1 bronze).[2]
