A free Olympic talent search coming to Victoria will give young athletes the opportunity to get scouted for 15 winter and summer Olympic sports.
RBC Training Ground takes place on Saturday, April 11th from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., inviting athletes aged 14 to 25 to the CARSA Field House at the University of Victoria.
There, participants will meet National Sport Organization partners and current Olympians while competing in speed, strength, power and endurance tests.
The top 100 athletes will advance to the National Final, where 35 of them will earn RBC Future Olympian status and receive funding and resources to support development of their sport.
Now in its 11th year, RBC Training Ground has identified more than 20,000 athletes—28 of whom have gone on to become Canadian Olympians.
At the recent Milano Cortina, 11 RBC Training Ground graduates competed for Canada.
This is a unique opportunity for young athletes to pursue a future in sports, connect with experts in the field and maybe even discover a talent in a sport they never considered.
