From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article I chose is the wikipedia page of my sister, Arianne Jones. She's a Canadian Olympic athlete, but the content on her page is the bare minimum. I plan to contribute her results and her training process, drawing information from her own person site, Luge Canada's website, the International Luge Federation and her social media posts. I will also be drawing from newspaper articles with credible sources and first hand accounts, as well as sponsorship pages and bios.

Arianne Jones (born September 21, 1990) is a Canadian luger who has competed since 2005. Jones qualified to compete for Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia by winning a last chance race off with another teammate. She placed 13th overall in the 2014 Olympic Games, with other outstanding achievements including her first bronze medal in the 2014 Calgary Luge World Cup and a gold medal in the Team Relay portion of 2016 Winterberg Luge World Cup in Germany.

Career
Jones attributes her start in luge to a recruitment camp held at Canada Olympic Park, following the 2002 Winter Olympics in Park City, Utah. Beginning her career at the age of twelve, she worked her way to an elite level through competing at a junior national for four years, reaching World Cup level in the 2010-2011 season. [1]
With a stature smaller than many of competitors, Jones has had to face a different set of challenges than most luge athletes competing at an elite level. Dubbed the "pint-sized wonder" by many of her peers, she proved that hard work and resilience can push past barriers that would hinder her ability to compete[2]. Throughout her World Cup career, Jones has boasted top-fifteen results every season since her debut in 2010.[3]
