The search for Olympic hopefuls in central Alberta
Central Albertans have the chance once again this year to see if they have what it takes to be an Olympic athlete.
RBC Training Ground gives local athletes – no matter what sport or activity they are involved in – the chance to test their strength, speed, power and endurance in front of officials from Olympic sports looking for new talent.
This Sunday, March 24, officials will be at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre at Red Deer College looking for local athletes with the raw talent that could make them well-suited for an Olympic sport.
Officials say the free, open talent discovery event is one of more than 30 local combines happening across the country in 2019 and is open free of charge to athletes between the ages of 14 and 25.
