Last month Rowing Canada Aviron and the Canadian Olympic Committee announced the 29 athletes who will be representing Canada in the 10 boats qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics taking place this summer. Of those athletes, three are current rowers from the University of Victoria. Avalon Wasteneys and Patrick Keane will be making their Olympic rowing debuts while Caileigh Filmer will be returning for her second Games after competing in Rio 2016. “Obviously Olympic gold is our goal,” said Wasteneys. “However, we’re also so aware that this is a really cool opportunity to be completely internal and focused on ourselves.”
