The 1988 Winter Olympics permanently bent the city's roster toward frozen-track sports, with a Luger bench running at better than thirty times the global baseline out of venues still in use at Canada Olympic Park. The Curler and Skater depth comes from the same cold-weather apparatus, while the Wrestler signal owes almost everything to the Hart family dynasty out of the old Stampede Wrestling territory.
