It may have been so cold that the first day had to be rescheduled — but for Liverpool athlete Rebecca Delaney, competing in her first national winter games was an experience she won’t forget.
Delaney, 27, won gold in the 100-metre snowshoe event at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in Calgary. She also won bronze in the 4 x 100 snowshoe relay. She was part of a 45-athlete Nova Scotia team that won 30 medals at the event, held Feb. 27 to March 2.
“It was very cold but I still did it,” she said in a recent interview.
“It was amazing. Let’s just say when I got to the end, I cried.”
