Sarah Van Dam and Erin Attwell had a very successful world championships in Roubaix, as members of the new national team pursuit team after the Tokyo Olympics. Making the medal round, with fast times close the medallists.

Will post video when i get it.

Pretty exciting prospects for the Paris Olympics in 2024. Sarah is just 20, and Erin 22. Both are alumnae of the TS youth program, BC, Cdn, and Red truck and Cyclery sponsored teams respectively.

Results in qualifying, (5th), first round (beat Switz., for fourth fastest, making the medals round ahead of Ireland), Final, lost to Great Britain.)

Just watched the coverage on Flo bikes. The Germans had three of their four riders from Tokyo gold medal, Brits had 3 of four from Tokyo silver medal, and Italians had the new world road champ Balsamo. (Still checking the other names.)

Canada had four new riders since Tokyo, all 22 or younger. 😲
