Aylmer to host Olympic presentation
On top of the many cycling races that Old Aylmer will host, the Canadian Olympic Committee, along with the Canadian Cycling Federation, will announce at the British on June 29 at 2 pm the athletes who will form the Canadian Cycling Team during the coming Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“Officially, nobody even knows that they are going to the Olympics until that day,” explained John Large, race organizer. “The presentation will take place on the terrace of the British. The Canadian Olympic Committee will set up their backdrop and have their announcer.” Several athletes donning their new uniform will likely be present for the big announcement.
