Two people were killed and six injured in an incident early Saturday at a sliding track for luge and bobsled, operated by Winsport Canada, Calgary's Emergency Medical Services said.
Paramedics were called to the track around 1:30 a.m. local time to provide assistance to those involved, thought to be all males in their late teens.

EMS and police say it appears the group entered Canada Olympic Park after hours.
"They used their own sled to try to go down and part-way down, they hit a gate," CBC's Meg Wilcox said, reporting from Calgary.
Paramedics said two people were pronounced dead and six others were taken to area hospitals in non-life-threatening condition.
"On behalf of WinSport, I would like to express our sincerest sympathies to the families of the two deceased. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families," Winsport CEO Barry Heck said in a statement on Saturday.
"WinSport is working closely with the Calgary Police Service in their ongoing investigation. In addition, WinSport will conduct its own review of the incident," he said.
Calgary police said WinSport will be handing over any surveillance footage that may help in the investigation.
