TEAM CANADA WRAPS UP SANTIAGO 2023 PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES WITH 12 PARA-CYCLING MEDALS

Santiago, CHE (Nov. 28, 2023) – Team Canada’s para-cyclists made a strong impression at the biggest multi-sport event ever held in Chile, with a team of seven athletes racking up 12 medals in addition to setting new records and personal bests at the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games, held from Nov. 17-26. 

“We could not have asked for a better performance from our team at the Parapan American Games,” said National Team Coach Phil Abbot. “We are looking forward to seeing what 2024 holds for this talented group.” 

On Nov. 19, road athletes won the first four medals for para-cycling. Alex Hayward, 26, of Quispamsis, NB, was the first to claim gold with victory in the men’s C1-5 category. He was joined on the podium by teammate Mike Sametz, 27, of Calgary, AB, who took bronze. Later that day, Nathan Clement, 29, of West Vancouver, BC, also touched victory in the T1-2 mixed category, while Charles Moreau, 41, of Victoriaville, QC, was able to take home bronze in the H1-5 men’s category.  

Switching gears, four athletes took to the track on Nov. 23 and 24. Mel Pemble, 23, of Victoria, BC, (women’s C1-5) and Hayward (men’s C1-5) began their track journey with silver and bronze in the individual time trial. Sametz and Keely Shaw, 29, of Midale, SK, finished fifth and seventh, respectively, setting personal bests. The following day, all four athletes were on a mission, as Pemble (women’s C1-3), Hayward (men’s C1-3) and Shaw (women’s C4-5) set new Parapan American records in the individual pursuit, securing victory for Pemble and Hayward, silver for Shaw and bronze for Sametz (men’s C1-3). 

On Nov. 26, para-cyclists wrapped up the Parapan American Games by adding two medals to the Canadian team medal count thanks to the efforts of Nathan Clement (T1-2 – ) and Alex Hayward (C1-3) in the road race. 

After representing Canada as flag bearer at the opening ceremony, Shelley Gautier, 55, of Niagara Falls, ON, successfully completed her two road events in the T1-2 mixed category, finishing fifth in the road race and seventh in the time trial.  

Of the 140 athletes present at Santiago 2023, Hayward was the most decorated with a total of four medals to his credit. The para-cycling team’s total of 12 medals was tied with the para-athletics team for the largest number by sport within the Canadian team.

CANADIAN PARACYCLISTS WIN TWO MORE MEDALS ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SANTIAGO 2023 PARAPAN AM GAMES

Santiago, CHE (Nov. 26, 2023) – Para-cycling at the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games in Chile concluded with seven Canadians taking on the road race on Nov. 26, adding a bronze and a silver medal to their haul.   

On courses ranging from 32.4 to 64 km, athletes in the H1-3, T1-2 and C1-5 categories battled it out on a course bordered by mountains and a cheering Chilean crowd.  

After winning gold twice and a bronze medal, 26-year-old Alex Hayward (C1-3) from Quispamsis, NB, rounded off his collection with a silver medal, completing his five laps with a time of 1:18:03h after a close battle with Colombians Alejandro Perea (1:18:01hr) and Esneider Muñoz Marin (1:19:10hr). Santiago 2023 bronze medallist in the road time trial and individual pursuit, Paralympic medallist Mike Sametz, 27, of Calgary, AB, finished sixth. 

“I think being so new to cycling, the road aspect of it is the biggest learning curve,” said Hayward. “Given the situation and how it played out I’m pretty happy with how finished. Mike and I had a plan to push the pace at the start, we threw a few attacks and eventually, one of mine stuck. Then it was one and one, and I didn’t have a lot of matches left and Alejandro’s been doing this for a long time, so he sprinted me at the end.” 

In the T1-2 men’s and women’s mixed start, former Paralympic swimmer Nathan Clement, 29, of West Vancouver, BC, captured his second medal of the Games by winning bronze, with a time of 58:02m in three laps, 1:07m behind Dennis Dale Connors of the USA and 24 seconds behind Juan Jose Betancourt of Colombia. 

“It was a great measuring stick to see where I was at as a rider and as a cyclist,” said Clement. “There’s still so much room I need to grow and expand, but overall, seeing my power and feeling throughout the race and from the start of my cycling to where I am now, this was my strongest performance.” 

Also taking part in the mixed start, Shelley Gautier, 55, of Niagara Falls, ON, holder of several World Road Championship titles, finished sixth, 22:03m behind first place. 

“I was time trialing by myself in the road race,” laughed Gautier. “But I was able to stick to a constant pedal stroke and I was able to get out there and have fun and I was the second lady and I was catching her, so I did very well.” 

Despite a blistering start and a solid battle against the Americans, Paralympian Charles Moreau, 41, from Victoriaville, QC, was the victim of a small collision, costing him precious minutes, good for fourth place with a time of 1:43:56hr just over a minute from the podium, occupied by three runners from the USA, Alfredo De Los Santos (1:42:53hr), Eric Ryan Pinney (1:42:03hr) and Brandon Lyons (1:42:54hr). 

Using their strength in their respective categories, former Paralympic skier Mel Pemble, 23, of Victoria, BC, and Paralympic medalist Keely Shaw, 29, of Midale, SK, finished with times of 1:17:08h and 1:47:18hr respectively, to finish fourth and fifth in the women’s C1-3 and C4-5 categories. The C1-3 women’s podium was occupied by Colombian Daniela Munevar, American Jamie Renee Whitmore and Colombian Paula Daniela Caballero, who all finished with a time of 1:11:37hr, while victory went to Colombian Paula Ossa Veloza (1:35:39hr) in the C4-5 women’s race. Mariela Delgado of Argentina and Samathan Bosco of the USA completed the podium, both with a time of 1:47:16hr. 

The road race concluded Team Canada’s cycling competition at the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games. More information, including results and the full schedule of events, can be found at www.santiago2023.org.

FINAL CANADIAN CHAMPIONS OF 2023 CROWNED IN CYCLO-CROSS

Ottawa, ON (Nov. 26, 2023) – The 2023 Canadian Championship season ended on a high note on Nov. 25, with the 16 athletes establishing themselves as the nation’s best in cyclo-cross in Saanich, BC. The Lazer Canadian Cyclo-cross Championships featured a full roster of categories, with athletes of all ages taking a shot at a title. The youngest riders challenged the U17 category, with Lydia Stack-Michasi and Ethan Wood claiming the women’s and men’s championships, respectively. Jayden Mcmullen was first to cross the finish line for the U19 men. Canada’s medallists from the Missoula 2023 Pan American Cyclo-cross Championships, which was held earlier in November, all brought their recent experience to bear. Rafaëlle Carrier extended her exceptional season, adding the U19 Women’s Cyclo-cross title an impressive collection that includes U19/Junior Women’s Gravel, U17 Women’s Cross-country Short Track and U17 Women’s Cross-country Olympic Championships. After winning the 2022 Junior Cyclo-cross titles, reigning Junior Women’s Cyclo-cross and Cross-country Olympic World Champion Isabella Holmgren (Women) and Ian Ackert (Men) returned to establish their dominance in the U23 category. The Holmgren name made another appearance in the Elite Women’s category, with sister Ava successfully holding onto the title she won in 2022. Evan Russell, who won the inaugural Elite Men’s Gravel Championship earlier this year, crossed the finish line first once again in the same category for cyclo-cross. Masters athletes also showed up ready to race. Winners included Pepper Harlton (35-44 Women), Raphael Lalumiere (35-44 Men), Cristin Schlossberger (45-54 Women), Bob Welbourn (45-54 Men), Gail O’Reilly (55-64 Women), Lorenzo Caterini (55-64 M), Patricia Konantz (65+ Women) and Colin Funk (65+ Men). Full results from the event can be found here and preliminary information regarding the 2024 Canadian Championship calendar is available on the Cycling Canada website.

PARAPANAMERICAN RECORDS FOR TEAM CANADA’S TRACK CYCLISTS AT SANTIAGO 2023

Santiago, CHE (Nov. 24, 2023) – Canada’s para-cyclists rose to the challenge on the second day of competition at the Velódromo Parque Peñalolén for the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games in Chile on November 24, with all four starters winning medals.

After winning silver in the women’s C1-5 individual time trial on November 23, Paralympian para-alpine skier Mel Pemble, 23, of Victoria, BC, finished second in the women’s C1-3 individual pursuit qualifying behind American Jamie Renee Whitmore, whom she faced in the gold medal final. After a tight battle, Pemble (4:10.103m) edged out her rival by just 0.109 seconds. Paula Perez Caballero (4:14.851m) took bronze.

“I feel really surprised,” said Pemble. “The Individual Pursuit is not my best event, to be honest so qualifying second was a bit of a surprise and I wasn’t super happy with my performance with the time that I got, I knew I had more in me. It made the battle even sweeter in the final, in terms of having nothing to lose, and I went out with a really good plan and everything that could have happened, happened. I had to kick it off a notch in the last kilometre and it paid off.”

Silver medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in the same discipline, Keely Shaw, 29, of Saskatoon, SK, was ready to give it her all in the women’s C4-5 after coming within 0.65s of the podium in the road time trial on November 19. Motivated by her performances of the week, Shaw set a new Parapan American Games qualifying record in the C4 women’s event with her time of 3:46.93 to advance to the gold medal final. In the end, she lost out to American Samatha Bosco (3:45.752), who beat her to the gold medal. Paula Ossa Veloza, of Colombia, took the bronze.

“Silver can be a hard pill to swallow with gold on the table,” said Shaw. “At the end of the day, our process was exactly what it needed to be. We came here knowing it was going to be a rehearsal for the upcoming World Championships and then later on the Paralympic Games, so I think we learned a lot about what we needed to do.”

On a mission for his third medal in three races, track rookie Alex Hayward, 26, of Quispamsis, NB, who had won gold in the men’s C1-5 road time trial and bronze in the men’s C1-5 track time trial, was aiming to complete his medal collection in the men’s C1-3 individual pursuit, shattering the Parapan American Games men’s C3 record, with his qualifying time of 3:27.869m, propelling him automatically into the gold-medal final against Colombia’s Alejandro Perera Arango (3:32.491m), where he beat his own record to take gold.

“This is the first time I’m doing two pursuits back-to-back,” said Hayward. “Having had a bit of a rough season, to prove to myself that I can do two pursuits back-to-back and put down my two best times ever felt amazing.”

Satisfied with his performance after several years off the bike due to injury, Rio 2016 Paralympian Mike Sametz, 27, of Calgary, AB, who won bronze in the C1-5 Individual Time Trial on November 19 qualified third in the Men’s C1-3 Individual Pursuit, good for bronze medal final that he won by catching Colombia’s Esneider Muñoz.

“This is my first pursuit since the Rio Paralympic Games, so it’s nice to see where I’m at,” added Sametz, who is hoping to share the podium with Hayward once again on Sunday’s road race.

More information, including results and the full schedule of events, can be found at www.santiago2023.org. Competition for Team Canada’s paracyclists conclude on Nov. 26 with the road race.

PERSONAL BESTS FOR PARA-TRACK CYCLISTS AT SANTIAGO 2023 PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES

Santiago, CHE (Nov. 23, 2023) – Four para-cyclists switched gears on Nov. 23 at the Velódromo Parque Peñalolén for the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games in Chile adding two medals to their haul.

Athletes in the C1-5 categories took on the 500m-Kilometre Time Trial in a scorching hot velodrome, where PyeongChang 2018 Paralympian Mel Pemble and Santiago 2023 Time Trial Gold Medallist Alexandre Hayward respectively won silver and bronze.

On a mission, Mel Pemble, of Victoria, BC, stopped the clock with a time of 37.565s, just 0.701s short of victory, ultimately won by Sabrina Da Silva Custodia of Brazil, while Paula Ossa Veloza of Colombia completed the podium with bronze.

“I’m feeling amazing, mainly for the personal best and, of course, the medal is a bonus,” said Pemble. “I knew my times and how it reflected on the competitors here, but anything can happen on race day.”

Taking advantage of his victory in the C1-5 men’s individual road time trial on Nov. 19, Alex Hayward, of Quispamsis, NB, a former wheelchair basketball player and recent convert to track cycling, was able to climb onto the third step of the podium thanks to his time of 1:06.566m, behind Colombians Fabián Edwin Matiz Ruiz (1:04.388m) with gold and Carlos Vargas Villanueva (1:06.538m) with silver.

“I came here with no expectations,” said Hayward. “This is far from my event. I think I’ve only done one other kilo in my life earlier this year and it was five seconds slower. I came here looking for a personal best, and I achieved that, and it just happened to be enough for a podium. Tomorrow’s Individual Pursuit is probably the event that I’ve been looking forward to the most, I’ve had a bit of a bad run at that at Worlds and I would like to redeem myself.”

Although they didn’t make the podium, Paralympic medallists Mike Sametz, of Calgary, AB, and Keely Shaw, of Saskatoon, SK, were pleased with their performances, with their respective times of 1:08.707m and 40.179s, good for fifth and seventh place.

“It was a super fun day out there,” added Shaw, “The track was running fast. Personally, I got over a two second personal best, so while I wasn’t on the podium, I think there’s a lot to take away from today, it’s a really good place to be and a really good mile marker before we go to Brazil in March for World Championships.”

More information, including results and the full schedule of events, can be found at www.santiago2023.org. Competition for Team Canada’s track para-cyclists continues Nov. 24 with the Individual Pursuit.

TEAM CANADA CLINCHES FOUR PARA-CYCLING MEDALS ON DAY 1 OF THE SANTIAGO 2023 PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES

Santiago, CHE (Nov. 19, 2023) – Team Canada’s road para-cyclists set the bar high on the first day of racing at Calles de Isla de Maipo, CHE, at the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games on Nov. 19, winning two gold medals and two bronze medals.

Alexandre Hayward, 26, of Quispamsis, NB, and Mike Sametz, 27, of Calgary, AB, won gold and bronze in the men’s C1-5 category under a blazing sun and motivated by a passionate Chilean crowd. Completing two laps of the 10km course, the maple leaf representatives clocked 26:21.14m and 27:25.14m, respectively. Brazil’s Lauro Cesar Moro completed the podium, finishing 44:92s behind Hayward.

“Mikey and I spent a week together in Bromont leading up to this,” said Hayward. “We’ve kind of been joking around that it would be nice to stand on the podium together and I think to do it on the first day is pretty special. This was a unique time trial. Usually when you leave the start-finish area the fans sort of die off a bit but they were all over the course, which made it a lot of fun.”

In a mixed start that combined men and women in the T1-T2 categories, reigning World Champion Nathan Clement, 29, of West Vancouver, BC, and Paralympian Shelley Gautier, 55, of Niagara Falls, ON, left it all on the course. With a time of 15:44.73m, Clement came out on top, finishing 1:29m ahead of Dale Connors of the United States of America. Colombia’s Juan Betancourt took third place with a time of 17:46.71m while Gautier finished fifth with a time of 18:42.12m.“Being here, hearing the crowd of everyone here has been absolutely amazing,” said Clement. “The loud noise all throughout the course, even riding the course yesterday and seeing the mountains in the distance was absolutely breathtaking.”

National Team Coach Phil Abbott added, “We came here to test out a couple of things and see what Nathan could do, I think today’s been really exciting and there’s hopefully a bright future for the rest of the season as we lead into Paris and get prepared for that.”

Rio 2016 Paralympic medallist Charles Moreau, 41, of Victoriaville, QC, went on to claim bronze in the men’s H1-H5 category with his time of 31:46.65m, 27.60s behind winner Eric Ryan Pinney of the USA. They were joined on the podium by Brandon Lyons (+19.28s), also from the USA, with silver.

“Most of the time, I visualize race situations and I visualize the stronger runners I have ahead of me that I need to catch,” commented Moreau. “When it’s harder, I tend to think about the people at home. We spend a lot of time away from home, away from family, so often it’s an extra source of motivation, to tell yourself that you’re making sacrifices for them and it’s affecting them too, so you push even harder.”

In a strong ride, 29-year-old Paralympian Keely Shaw from Saskatoon, SK, finished in fourth place with a time of 15:34.08, just 0.6s behind the bronze medal won by Daniela Carolia Munevar, of Colombia. Gold and silver medals went to Samanta Bosco (15:08.01m) and Jamie Whitmore (15:29.13m), both from the USA. Mel Pemble, 23, from Victoria, BC, also took part in the event. She finished in seventh place, with a time of 16:55.52m.More information, including results and the full schedule of events, can be found at www.santiago2023.org. Competition for Team Canada’s para-cyclists continues Nov. 23 with track competition.

Note: Tarek Dahab (MC2), of Beloeil, QC, will no longer be competing at the Games due to health reasons.
