Career
Glaesser took up cycling in 2009 when seeking a lower-impact sport after suffering hip injuries as a runner whilst at Terry Fox Secondary School. Glaesser also participated in ballet and figure skating whilst growing up. After winning the bronze Glaesser said "We were so ready to just go out there and do our best.
Team Canada, in coming here, has a saying, ‘Give Your Everything, and that was kind of our motto — leave everything out there."
Glaesser was born in Paderborn, Germany and currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Glaesser moved to Canada at the age of eight when her father took a position at Simon Fraser University teaching computer science. She received her Canadian citizenship shortly before the 2012 Olympics.
