james89 505 Posted August 5, 2021 #1893 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There’s our surprise! this is one of my favourite events in the Olympics and so glad Canada got it’s first medal in it. That being said Kelsey Mitchell looks absolutely dynamite and it’s unfortunate she got boxed in. Hopefully she can medal in the sprint. orangeman and Surlympics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,296 Posted August 5, 2021 #1894 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Canada should really be a gold medal contender in the team sprint for the next Olympics, I feel like that event is what would really play to Mitchell's strengths.

The RBC training ground program found both racers too. They will need a third for Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell looks really good. I think the sprint is up her alley and maybe she can medal there. Surlympics and james89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Lauriane and Kelsey got fourth at the last worlds in the team and it was just them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very positive change imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
