Media
In La Presse, Jérémy Briand analyzes the funding of Canadian Olympic athletes after the Milan-Cortina Games.
Jérémy Briand, doctoral candidate in our lab, former national team member and Canadian triathlon champion, published an op-ed in La Presse (in French): Pour décrocher l’or, l’argent ne suffit pas.
Published in the wake of the Milan-Cortina Games, where Canada won 21 medals including 5 gold, the piece examines the decline in Canadian Winter Games results since Vancouver. Jérémy analyzes athlete underfunding, with the federal carding allowance unchanged for 20 years, and the vicious circle of medal-based federation funding.
