Simon Whitfield is one of my favourite athletes. I distinctly remember him winning that gold medal when triathlon became an Olympic event and marvelling at the man's athletic ability. He won this event regardless of the fact that he was in a crash during the race. This will be his fourth trip to the games having added a silver to his total in Beijing. This time around he had a specific training schedule so that he peaks during the Games. “My goal was always to be the best in the world at something,” says Whitfield (simonwhitfield.com). It's so amazing to be that he accomplished that. Recently, he's worried his supporters because he withdrew from the Edmonton World cup event due to a hamstring injury. He reports that it was merely a precaution. Better safe than sorry, I guess, this close to the Big Show. Here's a great article about his silver medal win: http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/beijing-games/story.html?id=734442 His website is simonwhitfield.com and Twitter handle @simonwhitfield.
Nikkita Holder is going to represent Canada doing the 100m hurdles at The Games. This 25 year old woman is currently ranked 8th in the world. She's heading to London with her fiance, Justyn Warner, who's also been named to the team.
