PARIS — Keely Shaw has won a track cycling bronze medal at the Paralympic Games.

The 30-year-old from Midale, Sask., repeated her podium result from Tokyo three years ago when she was also third in the women’s 3,000-metre individual pursuit.

The Canadian beat Samantha Bosco of the United States in the head-to-head bout for bronze with a time of three minutes, 46.942 seconds to Bosco’s 3:48.584.

In pursuit, each rider tries to both post the fastest time and attempt to overtake the other cyclist before the end of the race.
