Canada Wins Bronze Medal on Day 1 of Pan Am Track Championships
“It’s really good,” said Genest, “at Commonwealth Games we had a good ride but we were disqualified. So getting a good ride in this morning [in qualifying] was really important. Then to be on the podium, I’m really happy about that and it’s great for my confidence. We’re already faster than at Commonwealths so this is a great sign that we’re progressing well.”
In other competition, both the Canadian women’s and men’s Team Pursuit squads qualified for Thursday’s bronze medal final by finishing third and fourth, respectively, in their opening heats. In the women’s Scratch Race, Devaney Collier of Edmonton, Alberta, finished fourth, despite crashing in the final sprint.
