Three Victoria athletes have been selected to to represent Canada at the World Dodgeball Championships in Austria from Aug. 11 to 18 where Canada will be defending their gold medal win from last year.

This weekend, from June 29 to July, the athletes, along with the Victoria-based teams called Hyper, will also be competing in the Canadian National Championships that will be hosted in Richmond.

"The announcement of their selection to Team Canada is a significant milestone, especially considering the limited pool of competitive dodgeball athletes in Victoria [which is] less than 30 in total. In stark contrast, regions like Vancouver and the Greater Toronto Area with thousands," noted a news release from the athletes. "Despite these odds, Victoria has made a remarkable achievement by having two teams qualify for Nationals and three athletes make Team Canada."

Producers from the Entertaining World of Wine have been producing wine tasting events, with all profits going to support the athletes, and two crowd-funding sites have been set up to help cover the costs of training camps and international travel.
