From an Olympic medal at Rio 2016, to the current rebuild and looming steep climb just to qualify for Paris 2024, Bianca Farella has been through it all with the Langford-based Canadian women’s rugby
sevens team.
“I have had a lot of success and I feel being a part of this rebuild has also been good for me,” Farella told the Times Colonist. Canada, a formerly reliable top-four placer, is in 10th place in the HSBC World Series standings. The top-four teams at the end of this season will qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, with it looking increasingly likely Canada will have to go through the regional North America and Caribbean Olympic qualifier for the first time in team history. If a late run up the World Series table is to happen, it must start at B.C. Place.
Four Olympians were named with the veteran portion of the squad led by Farella, Olivia Apps, Breanne Nicholas and Keyara Wardley. Also named were Fancy Bermudez from Westshore RFC, Olivia De Couvreur, Florence Symonds, Alysha Corrigan and Chloe Daniels.
