After celebrating senior national luge champions Embyr-Lee Susko, Natalie Corless and Kailey Allan last weekend, we’re going into week no. 2 of the Canadian Championships at the Whistler Sliding Centre!
On Friday, March 10, Canada's U21 luge talents will be racing for national titles. They will be followed on Sunday, March 12 by youth athletes in the U18, U14, U12 and U10 age categories. Spectating and sightseeing is free.
Athletes will be training for the aforementioned races Wednesday through Saturday.
Passenger bobsled sessions continue to be offered Tuesday through Sunday, where members of the public experience speeds of up to 125 km/h and 4 g-forces of acceleration as they hurtle down a world-class track, driven by a trained pilot. I've had the opportunity to ride one for myself and it's not the kind of experience you can replicate with an amusement park ride.
Don't forget that three of the WSC's resident sliders are in Korea, attempting to qualify for the 2024 Youth Winter Olympics.
Visit the WSC website for more information, and check back with Pique Newsmagazine for the latest Sea to Sky sports news and features highlighting the athletes you know and love.
