Both World Cups are Olympic qualifying events.

The halfpipe event will be held the evening of January 3^rd and the moguls event during the day on January 4^th. It will be the fifth year that WinSport and the CFSA have teamed up for a World Cup at Canada Olympic Park. It’s also the first World Cup halfpipe to be held in Canada since 2006.

The Station Touristique at Val Saint-Come, Que., will host an aerials event on Jan. 14 and moguls World Cup on Jan. 19.

“We are thrilled to be in a position to host four events next season,” said CFSA CEO Peter Judge. “For so many reasons holding events in Canada is a crucial part of our program. First, it gives our Canadian fans and supporters an opportunity to see the world’s greatest skiing acrobats up close and personal and to inspire some of the next generation of Canadian freestyle superstars. But, equally important is the opportunity for our athletes to compete at home with their friends and family present and also with the added pressure that those factors bring. That added pressure is a perfect warm up for the coming Olympics.”

The delay is a result of abnormal weather conditions this spring, including unseasonable heat in early spring resulting in a rapid amount of spring melting, along with the large amount of rain recently.

Landscaping, which will include top soil, seeding and trees, is required to assure slope stability in the future and fulfill our permit obligations.

Weather in the coming weeks will determine how quickly the landscaping can be completed.

Please continue to monitor our website at www.winsport.ca and our social media feeds for updates.

We are currently working on a solution for existing mountain bike pass holders and program registrants and will communicate with them directly.

Please know that we are using all available resources to get our mountain bike season started as soon as possible.

Montgomery, of course, won the gold medal in 2010 in Vancouver and spends much of his time training at WinSport in Calgary. There’s no doubt he’ll do Canada proud once again.The show will begin to air on July 15^th.

By the way, Monty isn’t WinSport’s only link to Amazing Race Canada. Adam Baptie from our sales team applied for the show … but sadly didn’t make the cut.Check out his audition video below:

The centralization of the roster will be in preparation for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, which are scheduled for Feb. 7-23, 2014, in Sochi, Russia.

The roster includes three goalies, nine defencemen and 15 forwards. Among the players named were three members of the WinSport-based Alberta team in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, including defencemen Tara Watchorn, Meaghan Mikkelson and Jocelyne Larocque.

All 27 players named Thursday will be in Calgary in late May for fitness testing and orientation, before beginning to train full-time with Hockey Canada in August.

Canada’s final Olympic roster is expected to be determined in late December.

Among the athletes named were Russ Howard (curling), Joe Sakic (hockey), Alison Sydor (cycling), Andre Viger (Paralympian wheelchair racer) and the four members of the women’s coxless fours rowing team which won gold at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

In the builders’ category, hockey visionary Murray Costello and sport development architect Dr. Jean-Guy Ouellet were added.

This year’s induction celebrations will be held in Toronto on Oct. 16. They had been held in Calgary each of the past three years.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Hall, which is located at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park, it is an awesome facility with a great tribute to Canadian sport.

WinSport dominated at the junior nationals at Apex, winning nine of a possible 32 medals up for grabs in slopestyle and Big Air. Meagan Fiselier and Dakota Eliuk both led the way with a pair of golds, while Bryana Cressey won F3 gold in slopestyle and bronze in slopestyle. Tom Nelner was golden in M2 Big Air, while Dustin Cressey took silver in M2 Big Air. Ryan Kennedy chipped in with bronze in M3 Big Air. “Ryan and I were amazed by the entire team,” said coach Chip Milner. “It was an awesome show of effort and commitment. We are very impressed with the depth of talent on this team.”

* Evan McEachran picked up a score of 90.8 to finish second on Wednesday in men’s slopestyle at the FIS Freestyle North American Cup in Sun Valley. More importantly, his result helped him clinch the overall Noram title. Corbin Lefebvre was ninth in Wednesday’s race, while Keaton Carlson was 10^th. On Tuesday in half-pipe in Sun Valley, Garett Northey led the way with a fifth-place finish, while Lukas Bowman was sixth. Brendan MacKay also cracked the top-10 with an eighth-place finish.

* At Snow Crown, the freestyle snowboarding championships held here at Canada Olympic Park, WinSport`s Kirsty Macdonald was a big winner, with a third-place in junior slopestyle finals, third in junior half-pipe and first overall in women`s open slopestyle. Three athletes qualified for finals in junior men`s slopestyle and Callum Michie led the way in junior men`s half-pipe with a fifth-place finish.

For Kingsbury, becoming world champion is a dream come true.

“I have been waiting a while for this and dreaming about the day that I would earn the world championship title. I worked hard all summer to get to this day and I’m very happy,” said the 20-year-old, who took top spot at the World Cup moguls event in January at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. “When I woke up this morning, I was in a world championship mood. I felt perfect. My body was perfect, so I knew it could be today.”

Meanwhile, it was a quiet weekend on the World Cup scene for Canadian winter athletes, with alpine skiers taking centre stage at World Cup stops in Kvitfjell, Norway and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Manny Osborne-Paradis came closest to hitting the podium, with the 29-year-old Vancouver native finishing fourth in Saturday’s downhill in Kvitfjell, just 0.01 seconds off the podium. Osborne-Paradis clocked a time of one minute 29.61 seconds and was bumped off the podium by third-place finisher Klaus Kroell of Austria.

“I’ve been fourth before, but never one one-hundredth out. It sucks but that’s racing – the clock never lies,” said Osborne-Paradis. “Being fourth is just one of those things. It was close but really, I’m five-tenths away from first.”

Calgary’s Jan Hudec also wasn’t far off the podium, finishing in sixth place.

In Sunday’s super-G, Hudec was the top Canadian, with a 16^th-place finish. Erik Guay and Osborne-Paradis didn’t finish their runs. In the women’s super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Marie-Michele Gagnon led the Canadian contingent with a 29^th-place finish.

* In speed skating, the trio of Ivanie Blondin, Kali Christ and Cindy Klassen teamed up to win a silver medal in the women’s team pursuit race at a World Cup race in Erfurt, Germany. Edmonton’s Jamie Gregg turned in Canada’s best individual result, with a fourth place finish in a 500-metre race, missing the podium by one one-hundredth of a second.

Alex Harvey made Canadian history last Thursday with a bronze medal in the classic-sprint race in Val di Fiemme, Italy, becoming the first Canadian male to win an individual medal at the world championships. It was Canada’s third ever medal at the worlds.

“This is absolutely huge. I am so thrilled,” said the 24-year-old Harvey. “The day started tricky qualifying 26th, but the skis sped up as the day went along and I felt absolutely great in the final. It feels great.”

Harvey teamed up with Devon Kershaw two years ago to win gold in a team sprint race, while four-time Olympian Sara Renner took third in a women’s sprint event in 2005.

On Saturday, Harvey and Kershaw joined forces in the team sprint event and came within a snowball of hitting the podium, capturing fourth overall. Daria Gaiazova and Perianne Jones paired up in the women’s team sprint to finish 13^th. 

Luge: Canada’s national luge team will be front and centre at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, as the unique relay event makes its Olympic debut. The Canadian relay team, which consists of Calgarians Sam Edney and Alex Gough, along with the doubles duo of Tristan Walker and Justin Snith, captured a bronze medal Sunday at a World Cup event in Sochi, serving notice that they will be a podium threat in 12 months. On Saturday, Walker and Snith teamed up to finish fourth in a doubles event, while Gough was sixth in a women’s singles race.

Alpine skiing: Marie-Michèle Gagnon had a career-best fifth-place finish Sunday at a World Cup super combined race in Meribel, France. Gagnon turned in the second-fastest run in her slalom race.

Freestyle moguls: Canadian freestyle skiers had a huge weekend at a World Cup stop in Inawashiro, Japan, led by a four-medal day on Friday. Mikael Kingsbury reached the top step of the podium for the sixth time in eight events this season, with teammate Alex Bilodeau earning a bronze medal. On the women’s side, Audrey Robichaud took gold, with teammate Chloe Dufour-Lapointe taking third place. Biodeau added a silver medal on Saturday in a dual moguls race, while Kingsbury, the current wearer of the yellow bib as the overall points leader, was fifth.

Freestyle aerials: Travis Gerrits led the Canadian contingent at a World Cup stop Saturday in Bukovel, Ukraine, finishing fifth overall, just outside of the four-man super finals.

Para-alpine: Canadian skiers won three medals on Sunday in La Molina, Spain, with sit-skier Kimberly Joines, visually impaired skier Viviane Forest and standing skier Alexandra Starker all hitting the medal podium.

One of the big highlights came on Tuesday when reigning ski cross world champion Kelsey Serwa won the gold, while teammate Marielle Thompson captured the silver. Chris Del Bosco, who is coming back from a shoulder injury, won silver in the men’s event.

The Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, which is located in Krasnaya Polyana and will host the freestyle skiing and snowboard events, is already a successful venue for Canadians.

Calgary’s Rosalind Groenewoud led the way with a silver medal in the women`s ski halfpipe event, while Keltie Hansen added a bronze and Mike Riddle took third in the men’s event. In moguls, Mikael Kingsbury won on Friday for the fifth time this season on the World Cup moguls circuit, taking gold at the Extreme Park. Teammate Philippe Marquis won the bronze, while Audrey Robichaud was the top Canadian woman, finishing fifth overall. Olivier Rochon was the top Canadian in the aerials Olympic test event, with a fourth-place finish.

* The 17-corner sliding track in Sochi could also prove to be a medal haul for Canadians. Calgary’s Kaillie Humphries and brakeman Chelsea Valois teamed up Friday to finish third at the World Cup stop, but more importantly wrapped up the overall World Cup crown. Humphries had eight straight international victories earlier this season.

On the men`s side, The dynamic duo of Lyndon Rush and Jesse Lumsden finished fourth in a two-man World Cup race on Saturday, but it was good enough for Rush to capture the overall two-man World Cup title.

Rush hit the podium four times this season, with Lumsden and Brown sharing brakemen duties at various times during the season.

“I have always really wanted to win an overall title, and this feels great,” said Rush. “Big thanks to Jesse and Lascelles (Brown) for the great starts and to all the members of the team that worked so hard for this all year. The Sochi track is awesome. Everything about it is big and impressive. It is by far the nicest facility on tour.”

Mikael Kingsbury, along with Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe celebrate on the podium Saturday. WinSport
VP of sport, Stephen Norris, handed out the $5,000 cheques for the Sarah Burke Performance Awards.

It was an outstanding weekend for Canadian winter athletes, at WinSport, the Canadian Winter Sport Institute in Calgary, and across the globe.On the mogulsat Canada Olympic Park, Canadians took three of six podium spots, with Mikael Kingsbury earning his 13^th career win and 25^th World Cup medal in men’s action, while Montreal sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe took gold and silver, respectively.

In addition to the medals, all three athletes earned $5,000 each from WinSport as part of the Sarah Burke Performance Awards, which honours the late skier. Both Mikael and Justine also won the awards at last year’s World Cup, while Chloe stood on the podium in Calgary for the first time.

“It’s touching me so much to receive this award because Sarah was a great skier and every day I think about her when I ski because she touched my heart,” said Chloe. “In fact I think she touched every person on the Canadian team.”

In Stoneham, Que., Canadian snowboarders won four medal at the world championships, including Maelle Ricker and Dominique Maltais, who won gold and silver, respectively, in snowboard cross during the final weekend of championship competition.

Across the ocean, Erik Guay hit the World Cup podium for the 19^th time in his career, when the defending world downhill champion tamed the legendary Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbuehel on Saturday.

Kaillie Humphries and Chelsea Valois became world champions in two-man bobsleigh, while Calgary ski jumper Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes set a Canadian ski jumping record in Norway.

Canadians also won medals at the X Games, with Kaya Turski (silver) and Dara Howell (bronze) hitting the slopestyle podium in Aspen, Colo., with Rosalind Groenewoud (silver) and Megan Gunning (bronze) starring in halfpipe. Mark McMorris and Max Parrot won gold and silver, respectively, in the men’s slopestyle.

Keep reading below for more details on each of the events (I’ve tried to pick out some of the highlights in a very busy weekend, apologies for any ommissions:

Alpine: Guay’s silver medal moved him to within one podium finish of legend Steve Podborski’s Canadian record of 20 top-three finishes. He was one of four Canadians to crack the top-20, along with Manuel Osborne-Paradis (10^th), Ben Thomsen (17^th) and Jan Hudec (18^th). “If ever there’s a place you want to podium it’s Kitzbuhel. It’s definitely the Super Bowl of the World Cup,” said Guay, who was fifth in Friday`s super-G. Mike Janyk, meanwhile, led the way in Sunday’s slalom race, finishing 14^th overall.

Bobsleigh: Humphries and Valois continued their world domination on Saturday, capturing the women’s two-man bobsleigh world championship in St. Moritz, Switzerland. It was the dynamic duo’s 12^th straight podium finish. In men`s action on Sunday, Chris Spring and Lascelles Brown teamed up to guide the Canada2 sled to sixth place at the worlds. The Canada1 sled with Lyndon Rush and Jesse Lumsden was eighth.

Ski Jumping: Boyd-Clowes broke his own Canadian record, landing a 197-metre jump at a World Cup event in Vikersund, Norway. The 21-year-old Calgarian finished 30^th, just a day after finishing 24^th at the same venue.

X Games: Montreal’s Turski achieved a milestone on Sunday by completing a rodeo 540 off the second jump in the three-rail, four-jump course in Aspen, en route to the silver. Howell matched her bronze medal performance from Euro X in 2012, while Alex Bellemare was the top Canadian in the men’s event, finishing fourth. In Friday`s superpipe, Canadians took three of the top four spots, led by Calgary`s Groenewoud (silver), Gunning (bronze) and Edmonton`s Keltie Hansen (fourth).

Speed skating: Christine Nesbitt took top spot Saturday in the women’s 1,000m race, after clocking the season’s fastest time in the distance and setting a track record for the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. Jamie Gregg tied for second in the men’s 500m. On Sunday, Gregg was second in the 500m and fourth in the 1,000m, to finish a career best fourth overall. Calgary’s Gilmore Junio was third in the 500m. Nesbitt was the top Canadian woman Sunday, finishing second in the 1,000m and fifth overall.
