As the sports world turns its attention to the Paris 2024 Olympics getting underway this week, followed by the Paris Paralympics in August, many in the UCalgary community will pay close attention to three specific athletes.
Swimmer Rebecca Smith, a UCalgary alum, and shooter Michele Esercitato, a student, are geared up to perform at the highest levels of their respective sports in the coming days. With the Paralympics still a month away, triathlete and alum Stefan Daniel has already been confirmed as a member of Canada’s team.
Here’s a quick overview of the accomplished current and former student-athletes. Check the Games’ daily schedule on the CBC website to learn when Olympic events take place. Watch the Olympics Games on CBC streaming, CBC television, or CBC Gem.
And let’s cheer on our athletes as they make Canada proud!
