An Alberta family is supporting a Canadian athlete’s journey to the podium, by donating a whole cow to the luge team.
The Barnert family, who own Pint to Point Gelbvieh in the Foothills, are contributing nearly 600 pounds of high end beef.
It will be divided among Canada’s six luge athletes that placed top 10 at the 2012 World Championships.
Two-time Olympian and luge athlete Sam Edney says one of the most important things for an athlete is proper nutrition.
He says this proves anyone can help them on the road to victory.
