Canadians show future promise in Olympic women's team pursuit

Team Canada fielded two young riders with veteran Tara Whitten in the women's team pursuit, and their bronze medal performance was a top effort for a team which made its way to the 2012 Olympic Games in London with only a fraction of the support that the gold medal team from Great Britain enjoyed. The team's coach Tanya Dubnicoff was thrilled to earn a medal, and optimistic about Canada's future in the newest Olympic events.
