Ina Forrest Is On A Solid Gold Streak
Ina Forrest is on a solid gold streak in Wheelchair Curling and aims on adding to her credits. Tyler McGregor has been blazing goalies and lighting it up in the international Para Ice Hockey. Ina and Tyler have been named co-captains to Team Canada. Tyler carries the honor of flag bearer during opening ceremonies.
Brooke Ailey and Natalie Wilkie go the distance from coast to coast in Para Nordic Skiing. Brooke is literally from North Bay, ON and Natalie Salmon Arm, BC! Tyler Turner drops in quick and slick to dice things up in Para Snowboard. Natalie joins McGregor in the rare responsibility as one of two Team Canada Flag Bearers.
Matt Hallat returns with a gift of knowledge as one of the team’s most experienced athletes. Matt levitates to the next level in Para Alpine Skiing. Brittany Hudak needs a new track on another planet when it comes to slaying the Para Nordic Biathlon.
If You Plan To Follow Televised Or Other Broadcast Events
If you plan to follow televised or other broadcast events there is some noteworthy Paralympic Terminology. Mainly referring to the biathlon and cross-country sports but can either way help with selecting a program.
If you’re not much of a ski-bunny beware the bunny hole leads to two tunnels. Take the red hill and you’re on a cross-country Nordic slope. You take the blue hill and chase time through the alpine classification system. Now if you’re not familiar with The Matrix “follow the rabbit” analogy then the next paragraph is definitely for you!
Team Canada’s cross-country and biathlon athletes register under Nordic skiing. Athletes competing in Alpine skiing are classified based on level of visual or physical impairment. You can find more specific information about Para Biathlon & Cross-Country Skiing HERE.
