Canada, traditionally known for ice hockey rather than cycling, has made significant strides in Olympic cycling, achieving the maximum qualifications and challenging long-established powerhouses like Great Britain in multiple disciplines.
Canada's success is attributed to the hard work of athletes, coaches, support staff, and generous financial backing from Sport Canada. The limited talent pool in Canada makes talent retention crucial, emphasizing the need to maximize the potential of the compact group of riders.
Head cycling coach Dan Proulx expressed excitement at achieving the historic milestone of maxing out the track cycling team for the first time. The qualification success was uncertain until the last event, highlighting the team's perseverance and dedication.
