Canada's Clement, Gautier, win medals at World Para-cycling championships

Canadian athletes are off to a fast start at the 2022 World Para-cycling championships in Baie-Comeau, Que. 

On Thursday, Nathan Clement of West Vancouver, B.C., picked up the silver medal in the men's 18.9-kilometre T1 time trial, while Toronto, Ont. native Shelley Gautier finished with the bronze medal in the women's event. 

Clement, a former Team Canada Paralympic swimmer, had a stroke as a two-year-old and tore a muscle in his right hip last season, which left him unable to walk for two months. After that, he suffered an ankle injury which was a further setback.

A year later, he has a world championship medal around his neck. 

And they’re off!
