After a moral boosting 2nd place in the TTT last night, we woke up realizing
the current yellow jersey was too injured to take the start. Since Cam we
now 2nd overall due to the good team performances, he virtually became race
leader over breakfast! As a show of respect for the leader who crashed the
day before, we [...]

This week’s choice was pretty obvious, but none-the-less incredible! How could we not select the athlete who delivered probably the most dominating week in sports history: 8 gold medals and 7 world records! However, as dominant as Michael Phelps was, the races were entirely void of suspense and close calls. The two main examples [...]

After a tough Saturday at 37 degrees and disappointment of loosing our best
young rider, Sunday had to be seen as another by the five remaining riders

With the Olympics just getting under way and most likely dominating our LiveMultiSport awards (and our lives for that matter) for the next couple weeks, this week’s award goes to one of our Canadian athletes.
