The 2024 Paris Olympics are right around the corner and Vermilion local Alison “Action” Jackson will be competing for Team Canada.
She will be competing for Team Canada as part of the Canadian Canadian Olympic Cycling Team for the road race and time trial.
Jackson was winner of the 2023 Paris-Roubaix Femmes and is a 4-time Canadian National Champion.
This marks Jackson’s second time competing at the Olympics for Team Canada, making her debut in 2020 at the Tokyo Olympics where she placed 32.
Jackson got into group riding and racing after beginning as a triathlete, she quickly made her move to focus solely on road cycling.
In 2023, Jackson was a double medallist at the Pan American Championships, taking silver in the road race and bronze in the individual time trial.
The 2024 Paris Olympics start tonight (July 26) with the opening ceremonies and run from July 26 to Aug. 11. The women’s time trial goes ahead July 27 with the road race taking place Aug. 4.
