Second Round: The Eliminations To The Top 100 —
Following the first phase of tryouts, both in-club and online, the applicant pool will be narrowed to 100 athletes—50 men and 50 women—to be invited to spend five days at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, the epicenter of world-class training for American athletes working towards their Olympic and Paralympic dreams.
The Final Round: Welcome To National Team Training Camp
One male and one female athlete per sport (eight total) will emerge from the show as “winners” and will be invited to join the national team camps of four sports: bobsled, skeleton, track cycling and rugby. The athletes will also be eligible to receive financial, training and medical support as they prepare for the opportunity to compete at the Olympic Games in their identified sport.
Sounds incredibly exciting to be competing against other everyday athletes– like the girl you notice running early evenings or the guy at the gym doing weights (24 Hour Fitness gyms, naturally!) You should register- even if you can’t make it.
