‘There’s a lot we can work on’ – Paris Olympics was beginning of project for Canadian team sprint trio

The Paris 2024 Olympics track cycling events started with the women’s team sprint on Monday, with the world record being broken five times and Great Britain coming away with the first gold medal ahead of New Zealand and Germany.

At the other end of the results sheet were the Canadian team, who were not as competitive as they might have liked despite having defending Olympic sprint champion Kelsey Mitchell and Tokyo keirin bronze medallist Lauriane Genest in their ranks.
