Canada has a large team of 18 athletes present, with the objective of winning medals and accumulating the most points possible towards the Paralympic Games qualification process.
In the men's C1 category, Canada's Ross Wilson of Sherwood Park, AB, excelled in his career first World Cup race, winning the bronze medal in the time trial. Jaye Milley of Calgary, AB, a previous World Cup and World Championships medallist, finished eighth.
In the tricycle category, the two Canadian athletes - T2 athlete Marie-Eve Croteau of Québec, QC, and reigning T1 World Champion Shelley Gautier of Toronto, ON - were on the podium in their respective time trials, with Gauthier winning her event and Croteau finishing second. With the results, both athletes secured the highly coveted white jersey as World Cup champion.
