Stefan Daniel recently graduated from the National Sport School in 2015. As a student athlete, Stefan competed in Cross Country and Track & Field while attending the National Sport School. Stefan was fortunate to be one of the student athletes who attended ASAA Cross Country Provincials, and placed first in his age category, all 3 years. After high school, we would see Stefan on the world stage when he began competing in National and International Triathalons & Paratriathalons. In 22 starts, Stefan has been on the podium 13 times with 9 wins. Some of those wins include: 2016 Yokohama ITU World Paratriathlon (Men’s PT4), 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago (Men’s PT4), 2015 Edmonton ITU World Paratriathlon Event (Men’s PT4), 2015 CAN Paratriathlon National
Championship (Men’s PT4), 2015 CAN Triathlon National Championships (Jr Men) and the 2015 London ITU World Paratriathlon Event (Men’s PT4). His biggest celebration to date could be considered his Silver Medal in the Paratriathalon at the 2016 Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At this event, Stefan made history by becoming the first Canadian triathlete to win a medal at the Paralympic Summer Games given that the sport made its Paralympic debut in Rio.
