TOKYO Two Canadian athletes have made the tough decision to withdraw from their competitions citing injuries.
Canada’s Tyler Mislawchuk withdrew from the triathlon mixed team relay at the Tokyo Olympics after suffering an achilles injury earlier this week.
Team Canada issued a statement on Wednesday saying that the Manitoban will be replaced by Gatineau’s Alexis Lepage who will be making his Olympic debut.
“Since the completion of the individual race, we have been working with our medical team to mitigate the irritation in his achilles tendon, but unfortunately there is still some risk of further damage to the achilles should he start,” said Triathalon Canada’s high performance director Eugene Liang in a release on Wednesday.

Eric Lamaze, owner of Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals, has withdrawn from Equestrian Canada s short list for the Summer Games.
Three years of treatment for a brain tumour, the global COVID-19 situation and the inability of Canada to send a full show jumping team to Tokyo factored into his decision. My health is something that I take very seriously, and I’ve decided that Tokyo is not the best venue for me, Lamaze said Monday in a statement.
