Athletes competing in Calgary get full Games experience
Save for one broken down bus which caused a short delay to competition, the Calgary portion of the 2019 Canada Winter Games went off without a hitch.
Artistic swimming was held during week one at the Repsol Sport Centre, and halfpipe athletes will battle it out at Canada Olympic Park during week two. Alpine skiing events are also now taking place at Nakiska.
According to one athlete from Team BC, the experience was what she expected it to be.
“I was kind of surprised with just how many people showed up to all the events even though we weren’t in Red Deer,” says 18-year-old Zara Herbert, whose synchro squad finished 4th in the team competition.
