Joëlle Numainville (born November 20, 1987 in Laval ) is a former Canadian cyclist.

Athletic career

From 2009 Joëlle Numainville, who had started her sporting career as a mountain biker, established herself as one of the best road racers in Canada. In that year she became the Pan American road racing champion and national road champion (U23). In 2010 and 2013 she won the Canadian championship title in the road race of the elite, and in 2013 also in the individual time trial .

In 2012 Numainville started at the Olympic Games in London and finished twelfth in the road race. The following year, she suffered a severe concussion from a fall on the Tour of the Gila . This injury went undetected for seven months, however, and Numainville continued to race despite suffering from discomfort and constant medication. After the concussion was diagnosed in 2014, she was unable to defend her championship title.

In 2016, Joëlle Numainville was, to her great disappointment, not nominated for the games in Rio de Janeiro . Your appeal against this decision was rejected. In the same year she won the bronze medal in the team time trial with the team from Cervélo-Bigla at the road world championships .

Numainville retired from active cycling in 2018 due to health problems.
