Congratulations to all the Canadian athletes who played a role in Canada being one of only five countries to field full mens and womens team for the Beijing Olympics. In addition to the 6 team members, credit also goes out to Kyle Jones from Oakville Ontario, who is the mens team alternate, Brent McMahon from Victoria, 2004 Olympian, and Kirsten Sweetland, from Victoria, the womens team alternate. All of their racing around the world helped us qualify a full team, which is a great accomplishment for Canada.
