Canada’s official Olympic talent search is once again being held at the University of Lethbridge on Saturday.
RBC Training Ground is for local athletes between the ages of 14-25, interested in finding out if they might be suited for an Olympic sport.
This free qualifying event is for athletes to compete in speed, strength, power and endurance testing in front of fifteen National Sport Organization partners.
Since its inception in 2016, the event has helped 21 program alumni reach the Olympic Games, 12 of whom have brought home medals for Team Canada. Most recently, 16 program alumni were named to Team Canada for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Top 100 athletes from qualifiers will advance to the National Final and up to 35 will receive funding and resources to further develop in their sport, an increase in total funded athletes from previous years.
The event begins at 9 a.m. in the U of L’s athletics facilities.
