(Top left and clockwise) David Thomas of Palmer, Alaska won the gold medal in the knuckle hop after this effort in the grueling sport. In the sledge jump competitors need to land and take off with both feet while bounding over wooden hurdles. A little jingle dancer stole the show during opening ceremonies of the Arctic Sports competition. Yellowknife's Lee Mandeville plays a foot-stomping tune at the closing ceremonies of the Arctic Winter Games held March 6. Alberta North team members take top honors in the hand games competition.
