One of many surviving members of the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash will likely be representing Canada on the world stage later this 12 months.
Rowing Canada introduced that Jacob Wassermann had formally certified for the Paralympics.
Wassermann had just lately gained silver on the Continental Qualification Regatta in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the rowing group earned a rustic quota spot Wednesday, which formally secured Wassermann’s spot.
He took up rowing following the 2018 crash that killed 16 and injured 13, together with Wassermann who was paralyzed from the navel down.
There are three totally different classes for rowing within the Paralympics — PR1, PR2, and PR3. Wassermann will likely be competing in PR1.
