Brett Gallant vinner OS-guld när Dinos tar curlingtitel

Brett Gallant, färdighetsutvecklingscoach för University of Calgary Dinos curlingprogram, säkrade OS-guld i herrcurling samma dag som hans lags herrlag tog hem U SPORTS nationella mästerskap. De dubbla triumferna belyste en remarkabel helg för programmet. Gallant tävlade vid 2026 års vinterspel i Italien, medan Dinos spelade i Regina.

University of Calgary Dinos curlingprogram upplevde en enastående helg under U SPORTS-mästerskapen i Regina och de olympiska vinterspelen 2026 i Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italien. Den 21 februari besegrade Dinos herrlag – bestående av Kenan Wipf, Ky Macaulay, Ethan Drysdale och Spencer Else – Carleton med 7–6 och vann nationella titeln. Samtidigt spelade Brett Gallant, programmets färdighetsutvecklingscoach, som third för skip Brad Jacobs och ledde Kanada till seger med 9–6 över Storbritannien i OS-finalen på Cortina Olympic Stadium. ”Det är otroligt. Att stå högst upp på prispallen med det här laget är fantastiskt”, sa Gallant till reportrar på plats. ”Jag tycker att det var den svåraste match jag någonsin har curlat, mot en av de svåraste motståndarna – världsettan.” Tidigare under spelen tävlade Gallant tillsammans med sin fru Jocelyn Peterman – BKin’16 och direktör för Dinos curlingprogram sedan starten 2022 – i mixed doubles, där de slutade på femte plats. Dinos damlag tävlade också i Regina under U SPORTS-evenemanget, även om specifika resultat inte specificerades i rapporterna. Dessa prestationer understryker programmets växande framstående under Petermans ledning.
