West Vancouver's Georgia Simmerling will be heading to Sochi as part of Canada's Olympic ski cross team.
On Monday Alpine Canada announced the six skiers who will make up the Canadian team in the dashing new sport during an event held at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Ski cross made its Olympic debut in 2010.
These will be the second Olympic Games for the 24-year-old who came up skiing in the Grouse Tyee Ski Club. Simmerling was a late addition to the Canadian alpine ski team for the Vancouver Games. In 2011 Simmerling switched from alpine to ski cross and has put up strong results since, including a World Cup silver medal in 2012.
