It's official! Black Jack’s Remi Drolet is heading to Beijing!
Only eight years ago as a 13-yr old kid, Remi was signing his name on the Teck Kootenay Cup Champs banner. Now, at 21, he'll be representing Canada on the world's biggest stage.
“When I found out I would be getting an Olympic spot I was overjoyed, and it was incredibly relieving,” said Drolet. “Making it to Beijing has been a dream goal of mine for the past four years so it feels amazing to have achieved it. Having this opportunity at this point in my career is encouraging for me to see what I am capable of and I want to use this a steppingstone to reach a strong international level in the next few years.”
Rémi is from Black Jack Cross Country Ski Club in Rossland BC. For the previous 2 years, he's been a full-time student at Harvard University.
