Women’s K4 500-metre team wins Canada’s first gold of Lima Pan American Games
LIMA, Peru — Canada’s women’s K4 500-metre canoeing team brought home the country’s first gold medal of the Pan American Games on Sunday.
The team of Alanna Braylougheed, Alexa Kaien Irvin, Andreanne Langlois and Anna Negulic finished in one minute 34.316 seconds.
“We make sure we know the race plan and we follow it and at the end we debrief and say what we like and what we didn’t like,” said Langlois. “But for this race I would say it was pretty awesome the whole way so we have nothing to say about it except that it was perfect.”
Mexico took silver 0.33 seconds behind the Canadians and Argentina was third 1.29 seconds back of the winners.
