Skate1.jpgWe are proud to offer our congratulations to Tyson Langelaar, Team Canada Speed Skater at this year's 2022 Winter Olympics and former
student of the St. James-Assiniboia School Division.

Langelaar started speed skating at age 7, has had a highly successful athletic career, won multiple medals, and even overcame a fractured ankle. So how does he stay so focused and motivated?
"I stay motivated by always creating new goals," said Langelaar. "It's important to stop and celebrate the small victories as they come, but I always look forward to setting new goals to chase after."

Skate4.jpgSkate3.jpgAs a role model in our community and KidSport Ambassador, Langelaar made his Olympic debut this year at Speed Skating - Long Track (1500 metres), where he placed 22. He then went on to finish 5th in Speed Skating - Long Track Team Pursuit - Men (1500 metres).

"Over my career, I've learned that dreams are surprisingly not that far away with dedication and hard work," said Tyson.

Thank you Tyson, for representing Canada and our community, and we wish you a safe trip home!
