Lisa Weagle say being named Canada’s chef de mission for the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games gives her the ‘opportunity to pay it forward with the next generation of athletes’
World champion curler Lisa Weagle will be Canada’s chef de mission at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games in a place where she became an Olympian herself.
Weagle is well-versed in the multi-sport Games environment having also served as Jennifer Jones’ alternate in last year’s Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. While Homan’s team fell short of the Olympic podium in Pyeongchang, Weagle says she’s eager to return and shepherd young Canadian athletes Jan. 19 to Feb. 1, 2024, in Gangwon province.“I’m excited to make some new memories. There’s going to be some nostalgia going back to those venues and being in that same place. I really did love my experience.
Weagle earned a complete set of world championship medals playing for Homan with gold in Beijing in 2017, silver in 2014 and bronze in 2013.Weagle and John Epping rank fourth in Canada in mixed doubles. They’ll compete in the national championship March 21-26 in Sudbury, Ont.
