Day 2 results from the Paracyling World Championships in Manchester UK
It was an exciting day for Canada, here in Manchester. Marie-Claude Molnar (CP4) qualified for the final in the pursuit by riding a strong and consistent race. Molnar is participating at her first Para-cycling Track World Championships and came here with 2 bronze medals from the Para-cycling Road World Championships, being held two months ago in Italy. In the evening, she maintained her second position and it is with emotions that she stood proud on the second march of the podium, winning Canada' first medal of theses Championships.
The B&VI impaired gave us the highest emotions of the day while the two Canadian Teams were trying to qualify for the final. Chalifour-Dionne qualified in 5th, putting a strong ride but missing the finals by 4 seconds. However, Cowie-Smibert finished in 4th and earned themselves a shot at the bronze medal. It was late in the evening that Canada lined up against Spain and both teams shared the lead for half the race before Cowie-Smibert gaining advantage a few tenses of seconds at the time. They took bronze by 1.3 seconds bringing Canada his second medal of the Championships.
Mathieu Parent (LC3) posted a personal best time by 2 seconds at the kilo, finishing in 7th, while Brayden McDougall (CP3) finished in 6th at the pursuit.
