Canadian national teams, 23 athletes for 2022/23 and the focus is on young people in great growth

Official choices for next season, with James Crawford and Cameron Alexander ready for the highest levels and Nullmeyer and Grenier alongside veteran Marie-Michèle Gagnon.

23 athletes have been chosen to form the national teams of Canada in view of the 2022/23 season, with no particular changes in staff for a team that, last year, showed very interesting things with young people who emerged in the World Cup and at the level of major events, see James Crawford's medal in the Beijing 2022 Olympic Combined. There has been some variation at the level of the technical staff, such as the return of Luca Agazzi to Italy after having led the Canadian slalom races, in a women's sector that will have Karin Harjo as technical director. Women's team that will no longer have Erin Mielzynski, who announced her retirement a few days ago, with the new exclusion of Roni Remme, who has experienced a particular situation in the last two seasons. Alongside the veteran Marie-Michèle Gagnon, who will focus again on fast disciplines (but the comeback of the combined in CdM can make her smile), here are many talents starting from slalom, from Ali Nullmeyer to Amelia Smart, passing through the certainty Laurence St- Germain, while in giant will try to rise again, particularly in terms of continuity, Valerie Grenier, with Cassidy Gray and the other very young Britt Richardson and Sarah Bennett. James Crawford leads the 13-man patrol, which also includes the winner of Kvitfjell's first descent, Cameron Alexander, who will be able to test himself in his first full season of CdM. And pay attention to a talent like Brodie Seger and Jeffrey Read, with the team that is completed with elements of experience such as Erik Read and Trevor Philp, if we talk about technical disciplines, and Broderick Thompson in speed, as well as Riley Seger, Asher Jordan, Simon Fournier, Sam Mulligan, Liam Wallace and Kyle Alexander.
