Canadian Luge Athletes Push Off On Final Journey Towards 2006 Games
Each athlete will count his/her best two out of three starts towards the final results. The event is the second of a three-part pre-season training camp to determine who will compete on the national team at World Cup events this season, the final competitive crusade before the 2006 Olympic Winter Games.
All athletes completed the dryland training session last week, while the on-track race offs will be conducted at the end of October where the final team selections will be made.
