Canada's women kick off games with two bronze

Canada's Keely Shaw raced to a bronze-medal finish in the women's C4 3,000-metre individual pursuit to become the first Canadian to earn a medal at the Tokyo Paralympic Games.  

This is Shaw’s Paralympic debut.  

She began Para cycling in 2016 after a 2009 horse riding accident that left her paralyzed on her left side. 

Canadian world-record holder and five-time Paralympic swimming medallist Aurélie Rivard has taken bronze in the women's S10 50-metre freestyle final.
