Saskatoon’s Keely Shaw has captured Canada’s first medal at the Tokyo Paralympics. Shaw took bronze in cycling’s C4 3,000-metre individual pursuit. The 27 year old crossed the finish line in three minutes 48.342 seconds. It was her Paralympic debut and she beat out Australia’s Meg Lemon. She took up Para cycling in 2016 in the wake of having fallen off a horse in 2009 which caused paralysis to the left side of her body. She also played hocked before her accident and has said that her hockey background gave her the lower-body strength to pursue and win in Para cycling.  Shaw was a world silver medallist in 2019.
