Four ÐÔÊӽ紫ý junior curlers, brothers Jordan and Tyler Tardi and Brad and Rhett Hildenbrandt joined more than 600 athletes at the International Children’s Winter Games last month in Kelowna.
The two sets of brothers, who had never competed together, represented ÐÔÊӽ紫ý on their way to the medal round after finishing the round robin with a record of 3 and 1. They came in fourth, losing to the Korean team in the semi-final event – who went on to take the Gold medal.
The boys had the opportunity to meet other athletes from 39 cities and 15 countries.
The six-day event was held for the first time in North America this year.
