Campbell River snowboarder Turner wins two World Cup golds
It almost goes without saying that no athletes epitomize courage and commitment more than those in Para sports. Two Para athletes from the Island continued to burnish their burgeoning credentials ahead of the Paralympics — cyclist Mel Pemble of Victoria for the 2024 Summer Paralympics this year in Paris and snowboarder Tyler Turner of Campbell River for the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy.
Meanwhile, Canada finished with four medals, with Pemble winning two of them, in the Para-Cycling Track World Championships that ended Tuesday on the Olympic Velodrome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “All in all, these are great performances from our athletes,” Canadian team coach Sébastien Travers said in a statement.
