Ummm no they’re not getting any of our games. Whistler is getting ski jumping and cross country which i’m fine with to reduce our expenses. If there’s a wprld class site close by let’s use it. It’s 155 athletes outbof 5000. Southern Alberta may get curling. I’m fine with that.

To add to your point, Whistler is only getting the cross country as part of Nordic Combined (ski jumping+cross country). The straight cross country ski events will be in Canmore. Ski jumping and Nordic Combined are pretty small pieces of a Winter Olympics being held in Canada as compared to a Nordic Country.
