Canada's Olympic Alpine Team Announced

osborne-paradisNineteen men and women were named as Canada’s Olympic Alpine Ski Team today, and will compete in Vancouver for the 2010 winter games.
Highlighting the men’s team is Manuel Osborne-Paradis, who has been competing on the world cup circuit since 2004. Manny, as he is known to friends and followers, developed an appetite for speed at an early age. In fact, he has been skiing since he was three.
Manny is a fun-loving, adrenalin junkie, but don’t be fooled. With two world cup wins and six world cup podiums under his belt, he has proven himself to be a serious and fierce competitor. On his website, Manny claims his ultimate goal is “to become the fastest downhill skier in the world.”
This season, Manny is predicted as one of Canada’s best medal hopefuls.
Olympic forecasters have their eye on the women’s competitors as well. This season’s Canadian participants are headed up by Emily Brydon. Emily is a two-time Olympian, seven-time world cup medalist, and winner of one world cup. She is the leading Canadian medal hopeful.
