OTTAWA, CANADA - October 22, 1997 - SPORTQuest wins three new international awards (Lycos Top 5%, Snap Online Best of the Web and SearchPoint cool site award), establishing itself as the best web site for sport information. Created by the Sport Information Resource Centre (SIRC), SPORTQuest is a directory of sport sites and offers a virtual library of sport and fitness information.

SPORTQuest is the web site created by SIRC to service coaches, athletes, teachers, students, parents and general fitness enthusiasts. This free directory of sport sites offers an array of resources for training, sport conferences, sports science and medicine, amateur and professional sports, statistics and results, news.the list is endless. While the site offers pointers to popular sports like football, hockey and figure skating, it proves especially worthwhile if your favorite athletic endeavor is beyond the main stream.

By visiting SPORTQuest, the user can find the answer to virtually any question either from on-site information provided by SIRC or through more than 13,000 site links to other sport and fitness sites.
