A survivor of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash has qualified for the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.

Rowing Canada says on social media that Jacob Wassermann has earned Canada a country quota spot in an event known as PR1 men’s single sculls.

The 24-year-old, who trains in Saskatoon, recently competed for Canada in a continental qualification regatta in Rio de Janeiro.

Wassermann played goal for the Broncos.

He is one of 13 survivors of the deadly 2018 bus crash, which left him paralyzed.
