BC Games and Team BC Alumni to Represent Canada at Beijing Winter Olympics

BC will be well represented at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics as the Games kickoff inside Beijing’s National Stadium with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, February 4.

Canada’s delegation of 215 athletes, the third largest at a Winter Olympics, will include 30 who hail from BC or train primarily within the province. Of those 30, 20 were introduced to a multi-sport games experience through the BC Winter Games and BC Summer Games or at the Canada Games as members of Team BC.

Notable stories include the following:

Rémi Drolet (Black Jack Cross Country Ski Club, Rossland) is one of four men competing in cross-country skiing.  The 21-year-old took home 2 gold medals at the Mission 2014 BC Winter Games before one-upping himself with 3 golds at the 2019 Canada Winter Games.  Drolet’s younger sister, Jasmine, also an alum of the 2019 Canada Winter Games as well as 2016 BC Winter Games, will be an alternate on the women’s cross-country skiing team.
