Canyon Athletes Destined For 2024 Paris Olympic Games

Within cycling, there are those annual opportunities to win a Grand Tour stage, a Classic one-day race, a World Cup round, or even a World Championship – and quite rightly, they are the pinnacle of most riders’ careers – but every four years comes the prestige and challenge unlike any other: The Summer Olympic Games.

Canyon has shared the list of their sponsored athletes participating in this year's Summer Olympics in Paris. From the track to the trails, many riders will pilot a Canyon frame for a chance to win a medal for their country.

The Time Trial event opens up the weekend of cycling (July 27th), with Women's Cross-country mountain bike racing on Sunday, the 28th, and Men’s Cross-country on Monday. Luca Schwarzbauer (DE), Loana Lecomte (FR), and Adair Prieto (MX), Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Sam Gaze (NZ), and Alpecin-Fenix rider Puck Pieterse (NL) will take the XC start lines from the Canyon CLLCTV aboard the full suspension Lux World Cup CFR, the brands top-of-the-line XC race bike.

We all look forward to seeing the world's top athletes compete for medals, so here is a quick list of which cycling events will occur each day and what Canyon athletes will be participating.
