BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom — A day after Kelsey Mitchell joked that she was “consistently silver,” Canada’s Olympic champion added one more.
The 28-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alta., won silver in track cycling’s 500-metre time trial on Sunday, and was pleased with the result in a race she rarely contests.
“That was my first time having to sit and wait, it was an emotional roller-coaster,” Mitchell said. “It came down to the very last rider, I knew she’d be fast and it would be close. It was fun, that’s sport for you. I loved it.” “Every time I race Kaylee I know it’s going to be tough,” said Masse, the defending champion from 2018 and two-time world champion. “We really push each other and I put out everything I had tonight.
Canadian siblings Tali and Shad Darsigny of Sainte-Hyacinthe, Que., earned a pair of matching bronze medals in weightlifting.“I’m super happy about my bronze. My goal here was to medal,” Darsigny said. “Post-Olympics, it’s been really hard, and I had a lack of motivation coming back from the Tokyo Olympics, it was a longer Olympic cycle with the five years instead of four. So, I had a little down time and . . . it was harder, but I think I’m on my way up now.
“We executed all three disciplines the way we wanted to,” Tuomela said. “The goal was to go out, be steady and get in a rhythm and stay there,” said Tuomela.“It was just so amazing,” Spence said of the crowd. “The energy and the atmosphere during the competition was just crazy. And it helped me so much.”
