Ponoka’s Maddison Pearman has been selected to represent Canada at the ISU World Speed Skating Allround and Sprint Championships.

The competition in Inzell, Germany will take place from March 7-10 with seven Canadians set to compete.

Pearman will compete in the sprint portion of the event where the racers will be crowned based on their combined time in 500 metre and 1,000m races.

Depending on how they finish the speed skaters will earn points in the races that take part on Thursday and Friday which will be used to determine the overall champions. The all-around portion will take place on Saturday and Sunday.

The races will be live-streamed on CBC Sports digital platforms including CBCSports.ca and CBC Gem app.
