Weird Wednesday: Seeing Double (Gold, that is.)
It was a good showing for Canadian athletes in the hammer throw with Camryn Rogers winning gold in the women’s competition and Ethan Katzberg winning the gold in the men’s.
Except that’s not Katzberg, that’s the other Canadian hammer thrower, Rowan Hamilton. This is Ethan:
Here they are side by side.
Apparently, to qualify to be a Canadian hammer thrower, you have to share some DNA with another famous Canadian, singer Burton Cummings.
But seriously, it is the first time since 1912 that a Canadian has won a medal in the event, and for Camryn Rogers, she is the first Canadian female to do so.
Congrats to all the athletes who have competed so far!
