September 1/12 11:45 am - Paralympic Games: Track Day 3 results
Posted by Editoress on 09/1/12
The third day of racing at the velodrome in London.
The 2012 Paralympic Games continued Saturday at the velodrome with track cycling, and Canada had two athletes racing time trials.
The tandem of Daniel Chalifour and Alexandre Cloutier posted the eighth fastest time of the 1000m time trial in the Men Blind category, with a time of 1:05.433, while Marie-Claude Molnar finished tenth in the 500m Time Trial in the C4-5 category, posting a time of 42.228 seconds.
“In the kilo, we are usually as regular and constant as a clock. We expected this time today, because we are always at 1:04 or 1:05,” said Chalifour. Teammate and pilot Alexandre Cloutier: “Our start was much better than the one we’ve had in the pursuit. This is an event where you have to give all you have from the beginning to the end, so we did not manage our energy. We gave all we had.”
Molnar: “There was nothing else. I emptied the bank. The work I put in training has paid off. It's been two good races here on the track in London; I had my best times in both events, so I can build on that. This was my first Games experience, now I can only improve.”
Today's races are: Men C4 and C5 Individual Pursuit, Men B (tandem) Kilo TT. Women C 1-2-3 4-5 500 Time Trial Final.
