World champion decathlete Pierce LePage receives medical exemption, won’t compete at Canadian Olympic and Paralympic track and field trials
World champion decathlete Pierce LePage has received a medical exemption and won’t compete this week at the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic track and field trials.
But the exemption raises concerns about his potential of going for gold in Paris after the 28-year-old from Whitby, Ont., also missed the Hypo Meeting in Gtzis, Austria, in May. High-performance director Simon Nathan said LePage’s absence at the trials shouldn’t affect his selection to Canada’s Olympic team because he met the World Athletics entry standard and received an exemption to miss trials.
Canada can send up to three decathletes to the Games and only LePage and reigning Olympic champion Damian Warner have met the World Athletics entry standard.
