New Edmonton velodrome puts Olympic cycling champion Kelsey Mitchell back on track
The Olympic sprint champion returned after burnout and a bobsled detour, and she is chasing a national time standard to rejoin Canada’s team.
- Olympic cycling champion Kelsey Mitchell has returned to track cycling at the new Alberta Velodrome in Edmonton after competing in bobsledding during the Milan Cortina Games in February.
- The $153-million Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre provides Mitchell with better work-life balance than her former training base in Milton, offering proximity to her Sherwood Park home.
- To address a longstanding left leg injury, Mitchell received platelet-rich plasma injections in April before training at one of Canada’s three 250-metre indoor UCI-sanctioned tracks.
- Currently training independently, Mitchell plans to attempt a national standard time on August 31, 2026, to rejoin the Canadian national team.
- Success in qualifying would position Mitchell as a four-time Olympian within seven years, as the athlete targets the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
