19

We're a couple days into the the last 3 weeks before the big day.

Today's male athlete is Jason Burnett who will be representing Canada in trampoline and is expected to medal having won silver in Bejing and the record for most difficult routine. With these accomplishments his motto "Go big or go home" is fitting. In 2010 he broke his fibula and has recovered and continues to set records. He's also a student at U of T and enjoys parkour (as do I...as a spectator, not participant). Jason can be found on Twitter @jasonburnett_ and his website is jasonburnett.ca



Emilie Heymans is a diver. She partners with previously profiled Jennifer Abel in the 3 m synchro event and competes in the 3m individual event. This is her 4th Games, winning silver in 2000 and bronze in 2004 in the synchro event and in 2008 won her first individual medal, a silver. Emilie was born in Belgium, and raised close to Montreal. She began diving at 11 and before that was a gymnast. Following these Games she is going to enter the fashion industry. She can be found on Twitter at @eheymans and her website is emilieheymans.com/en/
