Team Korea’s bobsleigh coaching staff at Olympic Games will feature a Lethbridge College instructor
LETHBRIDGE – When the Olympic Games get underway next month in PyeongChang, South Korea, most instructors at Lethbridge College will simply be watching on TV.
But for one instructor, Florian Linder, it’ll be a completely different experience as he will be heading to PyeongChang as a coach with the Korean bobsleigh team.
“Initially I ran track and field at the University of Lethbridge. After I graduated I moved to Calgary in the hopes of continuing my track and field career but ended up being recruited to go into bobsleighing,” Linder replied after being asked how all this began.
Linder competed for Canada in the 2006 Turin Olympics in the four-man bobsleigh and finished 18th.
