ACTION AT THE CANADIAN BMX FREESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND UCI CYCLING ESPORTS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Ottawa, ON (Oct. 28, 2024) – Canadian cycling athletes were in action on Oct. 26, 2024 both at the Canadian BMX Freestyle Championships in Bromont, QC, and in Abu Dhabi, UAE for the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships.

Canadian BMX Freestyle Championships

The new acrobatic zone at the Centre National de Cyclisme de Bromont was the setting for the crowning of two new BMX freestyle winners.

Alexandra Laforest and Maxime Chalifour, who frequently train in Bromont, were on a mission to win this year’s honors. They lived up to expectations, both scoring the highest score in their respective categories.

“I’ve only been doing BMX freestyle for a year,” commented Laforest. “My boyfriend, Maxime (Chalifour), gave me his old bike. I’m a former rugby and soccer player, so I was looking for a new sport with adrenaline. I put a lot of effort into this year to be able to get the title of Canadian champion, and then it paid off because we won it!”

“We train here regularly,” added Chalifour. “It’s barely been a year since the center opened, and I made it my mission to win this year. Last year, at Joyride150 in Ontario, I finished second, and I really wanted to take first place this time. It feels good, with all the family and friends here, it’s great.”

On the men’s side, Mike Varga and Olympian Jeffrey Whaley took silver and bronze respectively, while Sarah Dinel and Marie-Soleil St-Laurent finished second and third on the women’s podium.

UCI Cycling Esports World Championships

Two Canadian athletes, Thomas Thrall and Tiffany Penner, were geared up for the final round of the UCI Esports World Championships, after months of planning and several qualifying rounds. As one of the 20 finalists in their categories, Thrall and Penner finished 12th and 17th respectively.

In the men’s category, Germany’s Jason Osborne took top honours, while Belgium’s Lionel Vujasin and Finland’s Kasper Borremans finished second and third respectively. New Zealand’s Kat McCarthy took the women’s world title, ahead of Brazil’s Gabriela Guerra and Switzerland’s Kathrin Fuhren, who took silver and bronze respectively.

The complete list of results from the Canadian BMX Freestyle Championships is available here, and the list of results from the UCI Esports World Championships is available here.

The team pursuit quartet of Ariane Bonhomme, Kiara Lylyk, Fiona Majendie and Lily Plante finished just off the podium, losing out to the Italians in the bronze final. The Canadian squad had clocked 4 minutes 21.095 seconds in the first elimination round, enough to beat the Belgians and advance to the final.

“We saw this race against Belgium almost as a final. We executed our run superbly and even improved on our qualifying run, so it was really great,” Plante told Sportcom in an interview. “We gave it our all against the Belgians, and made a few changes compared to qualifying. I rode a few more laps to allow the girls to relax longer in my wheel and it’s a strategy that worked,” Bonhomme added.

Great Britain took gold, Germany silver and Italy bronze.

Ottawa, ON (October 1, 2024) – The Canadian contingent at the UCI 2024 Para-Cycling and Road World Championships, which won two medals in the time trial events, added two medals and an array of top-10 finishes to its tally at the competitions, which took place from September 21 to 29, 2024 in Zurich, Switzerland.

Paracyclist Nathan Clement, who hails from Vancouver, B.C., and became a two-time world champion on September 24, added another world title to his collection after finishing the road race in a sprint against Italy’s Giorgio Farroni. The two riders clocked a time of one hour, one minute and 20 seconds over the 38.1-kilometer course. Uzbekistan’s Aziz Atakhodjaev (+2:47) took bronze.

“Completing the double rainbow jersey in Zurich feels surreal.” said Clement. “From winning a Paralympic medal at the start of the month and now ending it with a World Championship title in both the Time Trial and Road Race leaves me with immense gratitude towards my teammates, coaches, Cycling Canada staff, and Canadians across the country. This major accomplishment would not have been possible without the support of each and every person.”

Like his Canadian compatriot, men’s C3 rider Alexandre Hayward won a second bronze medal in the road race, after finishing third in the time trial. The Quispamsis, New Brunswick native finished one minute 28 seconds behind the race leader, Finlay Graham of Great Britain (1:55:24h). Benjamin Watson (+13s), also from Great Britain, took silver.

Mel Pemble, Kara Douville, Jessica Law and Joey Desjardins reached the top-10 in their races, all in the para categories.

Her Canadian teammate Magdeleine Vallières-Mill, from Sherbrooke, QC, was the best result in the elite women’s category, with a 14th place. The junior women also put in a solid performance, placing Alexandra Volstad and Addison Frank in the top 20, finishing 12th and 17th respectively.
