VANCOUVER – Three B.C. athletes walked away with medals at the Canada Winter Games on Monday in the para cross country event.
Revelstoke’s Emily Suchy won gold in the 2.5 km sit-ski event and teammate Andy Lin of Burnaby took home gold int he 2.5 km standing classic para male event. North Vancouver’s Emily Weekes took silver in the 2.5 km standing classic para female race.
“It’s a really big accomplishment,” said Lin. “It felt really good to win gold and I’m pretty proud of myself.”
Weekes said she was also proud of Lin.
“I’m really happy for Andy,” she said. “We train together a lot in the Lower Mainland and we are always supporting each other. We have some little competitions too – I was giving him a hard time today because even though he won the gold in his race, I beat him by 30 seconds in my race so I had to remind him that I kicked his butt a bit.”
