Sask. athletes reflect on Paralympic Games in Tokyo
CBC
Saskatchewan's athletes are back from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics Games, which ended on Sept. 5, and many are already planning ahead for the next Games in three years.
A total of eight athletes, four coaches, two support staff, four officials and two classifiers headed to the Games from Saskatchewan, according to the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan. On the first day of competition, Keely Shaw was not only the first athlete to represent Saskatchewan at this year's Paralympics, she also won Canada's very first medal of the Games. The 27-year-old Canadian track cyclist raced to bronze in the women's C4 3,000-metre individual pursuit. "It is so incredible," Shaw said in an interview with The Afternoon Edition shortly after her success. "To see the whole country rallying together behind me and having everybody celebrate this accomplishment is a feeling that I don't know if I'll ever get to experience again." The cyclist — originally from Midale, Sask., now in Saskatoon — had her Paralympic debut in Tokyo.
