B.C. has won the bronze medal as Canada’s 338-athlete team to the 2024 Paris Olympics was officially finalized Tuesday.
The youngest member of the team is skateboarder Fay De Fazio Ebert, 14, and the oldest is equestrian Jill Irving, 61. There will be 174 Canadian Olympic rookies in Paris, including medal-threats such as world-champion hammer-thrower Ethan Katzberg of Nanaimo, surfer Sanoa Dempfle-Olin of Tofino and Victoria cyclists Sara Van Dam and Erin Attwell.
The rookie list includes 30-year-old-plus Victoria athletes Jeremy Bagshaw in swimming and Adam Keenan in hammer, who will finally become Olympians after years of sweat and qualifying heartbreak.
