Around 30 kids took part in RBC Training Ground in hopes of becoming an Olympian

Around 30 kids showed up to take part in the RBC Training Grounds in hopes they might have what it takes to be an Olympian.

The event was held at UNBC where kids tested their strength, power, speed and endurance in different activities.

“They go through the different tests and they’re actual bench marks for each sport organization that they are measured against, so, if we see an athlete in a predicted measure of that national organization then they’ll likely be invited to do more testing,” says Beach Volleyball Olympian Jamie Broder.

Last year 12 PG athletes who attended the event were asked to do additional testing with a national sports organization.
