TORONTO, July 16, 2014 /CNW/ - An untimely shoulder injury sustained
during the surfing challenge in tonight's episode of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA abruptlyended the competition for married couple Jen and Shawn King. The
Halifax-based team were forced to withdraw from the competition due to
injury, before host Jon Montgomery arrived at Tofino General Hospital
to make it official.



The result of an old shoulder injury, Shawn's right shoulder dislocated
as he swam into the waves to attempt surfing, and required medical
attention. Jen described the decision to withdraw as "one of the
toughest decisions we've ever had to make." "We didn't lose," said
Shawn, "we just can't keep going."

Episode 2 Recap

From the Pit Start in Victoria, 10 teams made their way to "surfer's
paradise" in Tofino, B.C. At the Detour, teams chose to either sort or
fillet fish at Ucluelet Harbour Seafoods, then made their way to
Chesterman Beach to complete a surfing challenge and build a chair out
of driftwood, before heading to the Pit Stop located at the picturesque
Tofino Crab Dock. As a result of Shawn's injury, engaged couple Rex and
Bob narrowly escaped elimination after racking up six hours of
penalties by failing to complete both the surfing and chair building
challenges. "We are shocked that we've survived," said Rex. "We didn't
want it to be at the expense of someone else. No more giving up and
taking penalties, we're going to fight on, we have to do it for them."



Canada's National Women's Hockey Team members Natalie Spooner and
Meaghan Mikkelson kept their winning streak alive after taking the
first leg of Season 2. The teammates also won two round trip tickets
from Air Canada to Hong Kong, plus another $2,000 on their Scotiabank
Gold American Express Card.
