A city organized at the civic level around ice and rocks sliding across it — the Curler bench runs at better than twenty-six times the global baseline, which is what happens when January lasts six months and the curling rink is the town's living room. The outsized Swimmer count is the surprise twist, indoor pools as the warm-weather refuge of a place where outdoor anything is half the year unavailable, with an Athlete bump catching everyone the more specific tags miss.
One face per decade — the most globally famous figure born in Edmonton during each.
