How many of them are representing Alberta, and in what sport? 

Some action over in Beijing has already happened, but the majority of the sports kick-off after the Opening Ceremonies. 

When are those ceremonies?  

If you were in Beijing, they would be Friday evening at 7:30pm but here in Alberta, you’ll have to get a really early start to the day and watch them live on Friday at 4:30am. If that won’t work because you’re, you know, SLEEPING... there will be a rerun of the full ceremony at 6:00pm Alberta time that same Friday.  

CLICK HERE to watch the Opening Ceremonies. 

In total, Canada has 215 athletes competing in Beijing. Of those athletes, 41 are from Alberta.

I know what you might be thinking... a lot of these are in the middle of the night. That’s time zones for you! 

Of course, because these sports happen so late (or early? Technically?) for us, you can watch all the replays and full videos by CLICKING HERE. 

And, as soon as an Albertan wins big, we’ll have it on DiscoverAirdrie to celebrate!
