Who’s looking forward to cheering on Leanne Taylor as she makes her Paralympic debut?  EVERYONE!!

While the initial release of the para-tri schedule had Leanne’s event on Day two, it’s now been switched to September 1st, with an 8:20 start time in Paris, which equates to 1:20 am in Winnipeg – so it’s really as much of a Saturday night watch than Sunday morning.

And just like that, we’re back to the original plan.  Water quality in the Seine was a bit below what they were seeking for athletes, so the race has been postponed to Monday morning, still a 1:20 am start time and still broadcast on the same link below.

NOTE – Water quality checks are performed at 3:30am Paris time, so if you’re setting an alarm to watch, best to check for updates around 9:00 or 9:30pm (3:30 am CET is 8:30 pm Winnipeg time)

CBC continues as Canada’s Olympic / Paralympic broadcaster, and you’ll be able to watch Leanne’s event using THIS LINK
(the same link can be used to watch the event as a replay later in the day)

Leanne has been on another level this year, stronger than ever, with the same amazing drive, and we can’t wait to see her race.  If you want to know more about Leanne and the amazing season she’s having, check out THIS STORY for a bit of background and to be ready for Sunday’s cheering.  Fingers crossed she gets the race she has earned on the challenging Paris course.

This could be the highlight of the Triathlon season.  You don’t want to miss it!

Let’s hope the organizers avoid any water issues in September!
