Paris Pulse: Bronze in artistic swimming, silver at the Boccia World Cup
Get ready to ride the ways of excitement. Welcome to Paris Pulse, your weekly dose of Canadian Olympic and Paralympic updates as we gear up for this summer’s games in the City of Light. Allison Jackson was on fire at the multi stage cycling race. Love Elsa feminine. Leaving spectators in awe, she surged ahead in stage two to claim victory in a nail biting photo finish. Brilliant cycling from Jackson at the artistic Swimming World Cup in Paris. Audrey Lamothe and Jacqueline Seminole snagged bronze in two events. Women’s duet free and Tech duet. They nailed it at the same venue where they’ll be competing at the Olympics. Could this be some sort of foreshadowing for the games? Regardless, this Paris bound pair are proving why they are a strong team today. Our goal was to simulate our events at the Olympics and also test our new choreography. Have a lot of work to do in terms of execution synchronization, so we’re hoping to really lower down those penalty scores by the Olympic Games In Bochas World Cup in Montreal, BC four pair Allison Levine and Julian Chobanu scored silver. They retained their number one ranking despite their loss to 3rd ranked Hong Kong. And are looking strong for the Paralympics. Get ready to ride the waves of excitement. The two day surfing competition will be making its Olympic debut in none other than Tahiti, more than 15,000 kilometers from Paris. The island paradise is nestled in French Polynesia and is renowned among surfers for its epic waves, so get ready to hang 10 once that competition gets underway. Thanks for joining us and we’ll have more updates next week.
