The 2024 Winter Youth Olympics are fast approaching, and a number of Whistler-area athletes will soon don the Maple Leaf on an international stage.
Amalia Pelchat is in the mix for snowboard slopestyle and big air, while Hannah Turkington and Anthony Shelly will drop in for boardercross.
Over on the ski cross side, Anne-Marie Joncas made the cut after earning silver and bronze at a December qualifying event in Nakiska, Alta.
Talia Melun is one of two Canadian bobsledders headed to Gangwon, the other being Isaak Ulmer.
Four lugers based out of the Whistler Sliding Centre (WSC) are also taking part in this month's festivities. Ava Lucia Huerta, Maya Yuen and Bastian van Wouw are poised to represent Canada as Kaia Hatton looks forward to her major international debut for Great Britain.
Hatton isn't the only British athlete based in the corridor either. Sea to Sky Nordics members Graham Benson and Josie Clifford also made it onto Team GB for biathlon.
The action kicks off this Friday, Jan. 19 in South Korea and will conclude on Feb. 1. Learn more at the Gangwon 2024 website.
