June 24, 2012 (Canmore, AB) – Here’s Part 2 of Talkin’ with the Gravy-Train, where Peter Graves caught up with Canadian XC Ski Head Coach, Justin Wadsworth, who enjoyed one of the most successful seasons ever for the Canadian team, especially the men. With 14 podiums, the Canadian team turned heads at nearly every World Cup following the Tour de Ski. It seems the only goal not achieved was a spot on the final Tour de Ski podium…but they more than made up for this as the team scored a slew of firsts including first WCup [full] sprint gold by Devon Kershaw, first WCup gold by Alex Harvey, first WCup medal by Lenny Valjas – make that three WCup medals for the rookie, and the first WCup by podium by Perianne Jones. Of course Chandra Crawford’s sprint silver can’t go unnoticed along with Dasha Gaiazova’s PB’s this season and more. Was Wadsworth surprised… ? Find out his reactions and insights into the team, the skiers, and what’s in store for 2013 as he talks at length with Peter Graves in this 2-part interview – Part 1 HERE.
