Adam Dukovich aka Deadeye is one of the world's top 5 athletes in bocccia. He uses video, physio therapy and psychological training to compensate for his Cerebral Palsy. He is incredibly committed to his sport, training 30 hours a week. He reports that he would spend his last $20 on beer. A true Canadian boy. Care of Wikipedia: "The aim of the game is to throw leather balls - coloured red or blue (which side gets which is determined by a coin toss) - as close as they can to a white target ball, or jack. The jack is thrown first, then the first two regular balls are played, (first, the player who threw the jack then the opposing side), after which, the side furthest away from the jack goes next in an attempt to either get closer to the jack or knock the opposition's ball out of the way."

Phylicia George is a member of the Athletics team who specialized in the 100m hurdles. At the World Championships in South Korea last year she placed 7th. Again a description of the sport from Wikipedia, "The 100 m hurdles are an Olympic track and field athletics discipline run by women (the male counterpart is the 110 metres hurdles). For the race ten hurdles of a height of 83.8 cm (2 feet 9 inches) are placed evenly spaced along a straight course of 100 metres. They are positioned so that they will fall over if bumped into by the runner. Fallen hurdles don't count against runners so long as they don't run into them on purpose. Like the 100 metre sprint the 100 m hurdles is started out of the blocks."
