Interim Canadian representative to the International Masters Speed Skating Committee, Brett Arnason, has advised today that currently 61 Canadians have registered for the 16th International Masters Speed Skating Games. The event, which has openings for 353 masters skaters from around the world, is scheduled for Calgary's Olympic Oval during February 22 to 25, 2007. This is an encouraging response given that registration only began on October 7. It indicates that the 91 places currently reserved for Canadians may soon be gone if this trend continues.
Brett has asked MSS News to remind interested participants that entries are registered on a first-come, first served basis, and to clarify there is no process of skater qualification. Hopeful competitors are encouraged to submit their entry as soon as possible. After December 10, 2006 - unused places in the Canadian quota may be awarded to other nations who have exceeded their quota.
