CALGARY—Georgia Simmerling has retired from ski cross racing, but intends to continue track cycling with an eye towards the 2020 Olympic Games. Simmerling, from West Vancouver, B.C., helped Canada’s cycling team win Olympic bronze in team pursuit in 2016. The 29-year-old raced downhill and super-G at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C., before transitioning to ski cross and racing for Canada at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia. “I didn’t expect to be starting from scratch in my pursuit to the 2020 Games,” said Simmerling. “With my personal successes in cycling and with my teammates, I’m really excited about the prospect of being on a team again.”
