How are our athletes doing around the world?

Many world-class Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls call British Columbia home. In the lead up to the 2010 Winter Games, they are participating in international competitions across the globe in order to hone their skills, test themselves against the best their sport has to offer and, ultimately, to qualify for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler in 2010.

Visit us each week to see how athletes from B.C. have done in competitions in this province and around the world, as well as other notable Canadian performances.
