Team Training this week and update from the World Junior Championships in Italy

Hello everyone, exciting results from Italy this week. Dahria had the race of her life earlier today in the 5 km classic race. She finished 15th which is the 4th best ever result from a Canadian female skier in distance at these World Championships. A few days ago, Knute also had the best international race of his young career, finishing 21st in the 15 km classic race. Great week for both skiers. I hope to be able to report more great results from Sochi when I get there later tomorrow (fingers crossed)

Just heard from Knute, he qualified for the OPA tour in Europe. Great news for him. Alain
