Trivia Contest

Well, we were surprised and impressed with how many knew that Karen Strong won a bronze medal in the pursuit, in the 1978 World Track Championships (another Canadian, Sylvia Burka, was fourth). The first one in with the correct answer was Tim Lefebvre, a well-known Canadian racer in his own right. Tune in tomorrow for the next chance to win a copy of the 1998 MTB World Championships.
