Flag football players are converging at the selection camp in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in hopes of making the Canadian national team for the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) world championship in Germany this August. The stakes are high, as the top two teams will earn spots in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, marking the debut of men's and women's flag football at the Games. Among the hopefuls is Emile Chenevert, a family doctor from Quebec City, who is currently recovering from a foot injury. Despite not practicing, he remains involved with the team and is recognized for his leadership and skills. Another contender, Daniel Petermann, has a background in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and is eager to showcase his talent on the national stage. The team aims to build on its previous success, having defeated the U.S. in a recent match, which highlights their competitive edge. With a June selection camp in California to finalize the roster, the players are focused on their training and the prospect of Olympic glory.
