FOR A LASTING LEGACY 14

A significant portion of the revenue from the Calgary Olympic Winter Games was used to the benefit of local sport facilities. These facilities provide a great place for Calgary’s youth to try a variety of winter sport making the Calgary Bow corridor the heart of Canada’s elite winter sport programs. Canadians always had a high regard for Olympic sport, but these Games enhanced that. Five purpose-built venues continue to be used for their original purpose, and have contributed to the development of a strong high performance delivery system. LEGACY OF 1988

Over the last Olympic cycle, it has been interesting to observe the number of Canadian athletes from a range of sports reaching the podium on various continents. And while certainly it’s easy to see a winning attitude, what might be less visible is that over the past 20 years there has been significant and increasing support that Canadian athletes have used to reach the podium and to get an extra edge on their competition.

That consistency to a staff of over 100 require, and what the and comprehensive with expertise in the CSIC understands support particularly science and medicine is that it takes a for winter athletes is of performance sport; holistic approach the Canadian Sport from a budget that is that encompasses all Institute Calgary now 10 times what it aspects of the athlete (CSIC).

As a result of the legacy of the 1988 FUNDING PARTNERS Olympic Winter Games, Calgary has the infrastructure for continued development of the program. The Canadian Sport Institute Calgary (CSIC) have always been supporters of Luge Canada. CSIC recognized that to build a solid program would take time. They saw potential in the initial plan developed by Luge Canada and have been patient in seeing results.

LUGE have over the years developed a strong working relationship SPONSORS with the coaches and leadership at Luge Canada. From a developmental sport to winning medals on the World Cup circuit and at World Championships is the result of a patient and long term approach. To date, their best Olympic results were fourth place finishes in Sochi 2014.

In a sport that races around high-banked curves at speeds upwards of 130 km/hr, lugers can experience a pull equal to five times the force of gravity. The support of the Integrated Support Team from CSIC has been instrumental to the team. The best part is yet to come for Luge Canada. 24
