RBC Training Ground To Host '19 National Final In Calgary

In '19, the RBC Training Ground will host the first National Final in Calgary, Alberta. This national event will bring together the top 100 high-potential athletes from across Canada to compete for funding and consideration from Canada's National Sport Organizations. Based on the National Final results, and sport-specific testing results, up to 30 high-performing athletes will be selected as RBC Future Olympians. The RBC Training Ground will add seven new qualifier locations to the lineup, including a premier event in the Yukon. The national search will visit 35 Canadian communities -- giving even more young Canadian athletes the opportunity to explore their potential. Since '15, RBC Training Ground has tested 5,500 elite young athletes across the country, identifying 600 high-potential athletes. Since the program's inception, more than C$1.3M in funding has been provided to 87 RBC Future Olympians to help support their Olympic dream (RBC).
