Completely off topic.
My brother pointed this out to me today:
Calgary’s John Kucera captured his first career World Cup event after winning the super-G Sunday in Lake Louise, Alta.
The 22-year-old Canadian skier won the season-opening event with a time of one minute, 29.70 seconds, according to provisional results.

I’m annoyed I missed it, but didn’t think to check the listings on Eurosport, I mean it’s still November! This was the first time a Canadian has ever won a Men’s World Cup race at Lake Louise. And he’s from Calgary. Fantastic.
(Only thing is, this news made me feel a little bit older: I just realized that the last time I skidded down the downhill course at Lake Louise, little John was just a year old and Super-G had just been invented…)
