November 1, 2005 – Canada’s first Olympic gold medal winner in cycling, Lori-Ann Muenzer will be at the OCA’s cycling celebration Awards night November 19th. Lori-Ann won the gold medal at Athens Olympics in 2000 in the Women’s match sprint finals.

Born in Toronto, Lori-Ann started road racing in 1987 with Toronto Cycling Club Local Motion and she has been track (velodrome) racing since 1994. Apart from the Olympic gold medal, Lori-Ann has won many other international medals, prominent ones being two silver and two bronze medals at World Track Cycling Championships and one silver and two bronze medals at the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Championships.

An inspiring career, where she had to juggle working full time to support herself financially and also meet the gruelling demands of training, her dedication and determination paid off in Athens. On the way to the top she crossed many hurdles — injuries, limited financial support and scarce training facilities.

Limited seats available. For tickets please call: 416.426.7416 or click here for more information on the entire weekend’s festivities and events.
