EDMONTON – THE CANADIAN
CARTEL
CANADA SWEEPS GOLD MEDALS AT HOME
At the site of her ITU World Cup debut ten years
ago, Canadian Lauren Campbell brought it all full circle, running away to her first career World Cup title
in Edmonton. In a race that doubled as the Canadian
Championships, Campbell was crowned National
Champion as well, anchoring a Canadian gold-silver
sweep as Sarah-Anne Brault came across second
for silver. Bermuda's Flora Duffy took bronze.
In a powerful sprint to the finish line, a jubilant and
Olympic bound Kyle Jones surged to gold and his
first World Cup and National title win. Jones' performance sealed a golden Canadian sweep, the first in
an ITU World Cup since 2001. Fellow Canadian Alexander Hinton took the podium in his World Cup debut
for silver. Jarrod Shoemaker followed the Canadian
pair to take bronze.
