Kate O\u2019Brien est une nouvelle recrue de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de cyclisme. En 2014, elle avait manqu\u00e9 de peu sa qualification pour les Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver de Sotchi comme freineuse en bobsleigh. Apr\u00e8s son initiation au bobsleigh en 2010, elle a particip\u00e9 aux Championnats du monde de la FIBT en 2013 avec la pilote Jenny Ciochetti<\/a>, mais elle a d\u00fb s\u2019absenter de la premi\u00e8re partie de la saison olympique en raison d\u2019une d\u00e9chirure du muscle ischio-jambier.<\/p>\n

Tandis qu\u2019elle r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissait \u00e0 son avenir, elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de tenter sa chance comme pilote de bobsleigh et de s\u2019inscrire \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole de pilotage en mars 2014 \u00e0 Calgary. Parall\u00e8lement, Cyclisme Canada organisait un camp de s\u00e9lection \u00e0 l\u2019Institut canadien du sport. Cela lui a sembl\u00e9 \u00eatre l\u2019occasion parfaite d\u2019essayer un sport pour lequel elle avait toujours montr\u00e9 un grand int\u00e9r\u00eat. Sa performance lui a valu une place au camp d\u2019entra\u00eenement au v\u00e9lodrome de Los Angeles. Quelques mois plus tard, elle participait \u00e0 ses premi\u00e8res comp\u00e9titions internationales. En septembre, elle a fait ses d\u00e9buts aux Championnats panam\u00e9ricains o\u00f9 elle s\u2019est class\u00e9e au 5e<\/sup> rang de l\u2019\u00e9preuve de sprint par \u00e9quipes (avec Monique Sullivan<\/a>) et de keirin.<\/p>\n

Durant la saison\u00a02014-2015, Kate a combin\u00e9 les deux sports en participant \u00e0 des \u00e9preuves de cyclisme sur piste et de bobsleigh sur les circuits de la Coupe du monde et \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de deux Championnats du monde. Elle a ensuite remport\u00e9 deux m\u00e9dailles aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de Toronto, l\u2019or au sprint en \u00e9quipe avec Monique Sullivan et l\u2019argent au sprint individuel. C\u2019est Monique qui a remport\u00e9 l\u2019or \u00e0 cette \u00e9preuve. Bien que sa co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re soit plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9e qu\u2019elle, Kate l\u2019a tout de m\u00eame surpass\u00e9e aux Championnats du monde de l\u2019UCI 2016 en terminant 6e<\/sup> au sprint. Kate a effectu\u00e9 ses d\u00e9buts olympiques aux Jeux de Rio, en 2016, o\u00f9 elle a pris part aux trois \u00e9preuves de cyclisme sur piste.<\/p>\n
