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
