Adding to this outstanding achievement, Alex set a new Canadian record in the Flying 200 metres. The flying 200 m is the qualifying event for the sprint and represents a benchmark for a cyclist's top speed and sustained power. Alex clocked a time of 10.993 seconds, breaking the previous national record of 11.073 seconds.
Congratulations Alex on a stellar performance!
