May 10/19 12:24 pm - Gold and Silver for Canada on Day 2 of Para Road World Cup #1
Posted by Editoress on 05/10/19
Canada added gold and silver medals to its tally at the opening round of the UCI Para Road World Cup in Corridonia, Italy, on Friday. World champion Shelley Gautier of Toronto won the 8.9 kilometre women's T1 category time trial with a time of 29 minutes and 32 seconds, while Tristen Chernove of Cranbrook, BC, took silver in the 18 kilometre men's C2 race, only 3.84 seconds behind Arslan Gilmutdinov of Russia. Michael Sametz was Canada's only other competitor on Friday, in the men's C3 race, and did not finish after crashing. After two days of competition, Canada has one gold, two silver and one bronze medal.
"It was a fabulous day, Italy always knows how to put on a great para-cycling event," said Chernove. "The mood of the whole team has been right on target for great results. I had a little mechanical episode on the cobbles, but was really happy to still manage a silver, just three seconds behind. I'm looking forward to the road race on Sunday."
Two Canadian women's tandems also raced in the time trial, covering 27.1 kilometres. Both teams raced as independents (ie, not with the national team). Former Paralympic and world champion Robbi Weldon finished fourth with her new pilot Erin Ruttan, only ten seconds off the podium. Annie Bouchard with her pilot Evelyne Gagnon finished right behind them in fifth.
