Representatives of the 'Maple Leaf were often protagonists in world championship events in recent years. This is demonstrated by the 'silver won by Nathan Smith in the sprint of Kontiolahti 2015 and resounding bronze collected by the men's relay in Oslo in 2016.
This season, however, the yield of Canadians is generally disappointing, a sign that maybe something did not go your way in preparation.
In view of Hochfilzen automatic qualification based on the results of the World Cup he was obtained by Rosanna Crawford and Julia Ransom in the women's field, by brothers Scott and Christian Gow in the men's sector.
The coaching staff has decided to integrate the team choosing Megan Tandy, Emma Lunder and Brendan Green by virtue of what is shown in the circuit up to date. It is also selected Macx Davies "on trust" due to the results of the past.
Nathan Smith could be added, but only if it were to have a condition acceptable to athletics. The thirty-one has competed exclusively in Östersund, after which it disappeared from radar screens as suffering from a form of viral infection that resolves.
In summary, these are the Canadian choices for the World Cup:
DONNECRAWFORD Rosanna (1988) Emma Lunder (1991) RANSOM Julia (1993) TANDY Megan (1988)
UOMINIDAVIES Macx (1992) GOW Christian (1993) GOW Scott (1990) GREEN Brendan (1986) Nathan SMITH (1985) *
