Buchanan, Davies named players of the month Para-athlete’s bicycles stolen in Edmonton

TORONTO — Kadeisha Buchanan and Alphonso Davies, who each lifted the Champions League trophy in August, have been named Canada Soccer’s players of the month.

Buchanan claimed her fourth European club crown with French powerhouse Lyon while Davies won for the first time with Bayern Munich.

Buchanan, 24 and from Brampton, Ont., has won the Champions league every year since signing with Lyon in 2017 after a stellar collegiate career at West Virginia.

The centre back played in all seven of Lyon’s Champions League matches in 2019-20, including Sunday’s 3-1 championship win over Germany’s VfL Wolfsburg.

Davies, 19, has become a fixture at left back for Bayern, playing in eight UEFA Champions League matches in 2019-20. The Bundesliga rookie of the year also won the German treble, taking the league and Cup titles.

EDMONTON — A Canadian paraathlete who holds several running records says two modified training bikes she uses have been stolen.

Amanda Rummery of Edmonton holds national records in the 100metre, 200-metre and 400-metre paratrack events and uses the bikes to cross-train.

Police say thieves broke into her garage on the weekend and stole the two customized bikes.

The bikes have one handlebar cut off to accommodate Rummery, who had an arm amputated following an ATV crash. Rummery, 23, says the bikes have brought her independence and are special to her.

Investigators are asking anyone with information about the bikes or who stole them to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

The bikes are a black-coloured Cannondale and a red-coloured Schwinn.
