Not many pros could do what he did. Basically a marathon almost every day for months.

Stop doing this. Missy has nothing to do with Canada. She was born, raised and trained in the US, is not a Canadian citizen, and didn't compete for Canada.

If she were trained in Canada, chances are she wouldn't have won a medal.

Whether her parents are Canadian is irrelevant. It is like Patrick Chan will never been considered a Chinese athlete in China.

The purpose of this thread was to find out if the average Canadian, who can probably recite the roster of every pro hockey team "up there" in his or her sleep, pays attention to any other sport!

Agree that this is ridiculous.

If we want Missy's medal or medals, do we have to give back Donovan Bailey's? He was born in Jamaica.
