    Was there when he came home today, so proud of him and hoping his collarbone heals!

    absolutely! I think it's just one of those sports where you really SHOULD get a medal just for finishing! i know that sounds like barney or something...and Ironmans are even tougher!

    After Donovan winning the 100 in a WR '96, Whitfield's Triathalon win is the greatest moment in the Summer Olympics for Canada.

    I remember watching this live when I was 10 years old and being a Canadian I was so pumped when Simon passed the German at that last leg. It was epic! He is truly an unsung Canadian hero.

    If you finish one of those things you're a winner, I don't care what place you finish that takes guts!
