Help Canadian Cyclists compete and perform in the Olympics

(Pour la version francaise SVP cliquer ici)


We are track cyclists with a dream and a very realistic goal to represent Canada at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In order for us to qualify we must train in optimal conditions and attend a multitude of international events in the team event called the Madison.

The qualifications for the 2008 Olympics begin in May of 2007 with the Pan American Championships, where we finished fifth last year. Following this competition we need to make it to every possible internationally ranked event to make as many points as possible to qualify. These would include world cup events in the winter of 2007-08 and races in Europe. A top fifteen placing in the international rankings will guarantee our position on the start line in Beijing.

Cycling is not a traditional sport in Canada. We have managed exceptionally well to compete against countries with unlimited resources such as training facilities, equipment, coaching, testing and climate. If we are going to make it all the way to the Olympics we need to prepare properly and create the most ideal conditions possible.

We have made the commitment to be full time athletes, training up to 35 hours per week, to get this close to our goal. The money donated would create a stable platform for us to train and compete against countries where cycling is well funded. More specifically, we would use the funds to provide proper accommodation, equipment, coaching, racing, training facilities/environments and travel to better pursue our physical fitness.

We wish to be role models for all. An inspiration to youth to live an active lifestyle and a guiding light to everyone to follow their dream.

If you would like to contact us directly please email the born4beijing team here.


Quick facts:

The Madison is raced on a velodrome where teams of two riders, on fixed gear bikes, compete against other teams, as many as 18 at a time, over a set number of laps. Only one rider needs to be racing at any given time. Periodically, the teams change riders by "tagging" their teammates, usually performing slingshot action with linked hands to transfer as much of their momentum as possible to the racing rider. The non-racing team-mate then moves to the top of the circular banked track to recover before his next stint.
