So close! Canada’s team relay squad was just one second behind third-placed Denmark on Tuesday in the MTB team relay world championships. Each country six riders in the race, and Canada replaced one elite woman with another junior.

The team consisted of Gunnar Holmgren, Owen Clark, Emilly Johnston, Marin Lowe, Isabella Holmgren and Ian Ackert. Ackert was the final rider, and the junior would duel it out with elite male rider, Sebastian Fini Carstensen, finishing just behind him.
