Canada captures team sprint silver, team pursuit bronze at UCI Track Nations Cup in Milton, Ont.

Canadian track cyclists secured a pair of podium finishes on the first full day of competition at the UCI Track Nations Cup on Friday in Milton, Ont., with silver in women's team sprint and bronze in women's team pursuit.

"This is very close to our best time. Going for the gold medal, we had nothing to lose and we really gave it our all," Genest said in a release. "The points we earned today are beneficial for Olympic qualification. We were not at our best at the Jakarta Nations Cup so it's really nice to be back to where we were last year and to be back here at home."

Poland finished ahead of Great Britain to claim bronze in 47.569.

Racing together for the first time in the team pursuit, Canada's Sarah Van Dam, Maggie Coles-Lyster, Ariane Bonhomme and Erin Attwell edged the U.S. for bronze earlier on Friday at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre.

"This gives us confidence. We're a new team and since the Tokyo Games, we've been trying to rebuild our program," Bonhomme said. "We knew we were capable of doing this but everything needed to come together on race day. We've been trying for more than a year and today everything worked out. We know that this is the start of something special."

Great Britain won gold in 4:12.539, finishing ahead of Germany (4:13.511).
