Kurt Browning was all over CBC's coverage of Canadians this past weekend, which bodes well for his participation in CBC's Worlds coverage in March. He commentated the men's and ladies' events, did backstage interviews, handed out medals, and his/Tracy's commentary was used on CBC Country Canada for portions of the competition. For those outside of Canada, many of the final flight performances are up on YouTube, and Kurt's commentary can be heard there. Thanks to Shery for a lot of this information.
