Canadians hit top of podium at Para-triahlon World Cup
MAGOG, Que. — Five Canadians captured gold medals at a Para-triathlon World Cup race on Saturday.
Jessica Tuomela of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and her guide Lauren Babineau of Victoria won the women’s visually impaired category. The two joined forces this year.
“We worked really well together today. We knew we had a good ride when the other men’s teams were patting us on the back saying how impressed they were,” said Tuomela.
“This race was our race, and we fought hard together. We pushed each other the all day, but never forgot to have fun along the way.”
