QUEBEC -- A Quebec Paralympic cyclist whose two racing bicycles were stolen just weeks before the Rio Olympics has one of them back in her possession.
Marie-Eve Croteau held a news conference in Quebec City this afternoon to say she is thrilled it has been found.
The 37-year-old athlete said on the weekend she thought her trip to Rio was in doubt after she discovered the theft Friday.
The bike that has been found is for road racing, while the one still missing is used for time trials.
She says the road bike needs "a bit of love" but has no significant damage.
Neither police nor Croteau are giving any details about how the bike was tracked down.
Both bicycles have modified frames with two back wheels and were specially made for Croteau, who says she has a handicap that affects mostly her left side.
Surveillance footage Croteau posted online showed two men entering the underground garage of her condo building early last week.
They could be seen leaving with the bicycles moments later.
Croteau was named to the Canadian team for the 2012 Games in London but was unable to compete due to a concussion.
She is set to leave for Brazil on Sept. 5.
