A BIT OF CANADIAN CYCLING HISTORY

In 1982, Gordon Singleton won the first ever world championship by a Canadian cyclist when he came first in the keirin. Later in the championships, he was in the final of the sprint against Koichi Nakano, who had held the title foe the previous four years. This video from the Fifth Estate, who were doing a feature on Gordon, shows what happened. Thanks to Dave Kenny for sending this in.
