"The news: Two-time Olympian Dylan Armstrong, already a heavily decorated shot putter, will receive his Beijing 2008 bronze medal at a special ceremony this weekend in his hometown of Kamloops, British Columbia. Armstrong originally finished fourth but a banned substance disqualification moved him onto the podium, making him the first-ever Canadian Olympic shot put medallist, and first medallist in a throwing event since Stockholm 1912."

When I competed at the BC Indoor Track and Field Provincial Championships at the Kamloops Tournament Capital Centre on friday I met the man himself : Dylan Armstrong!
He is a very classy individual and a great representative of Canada and Track and Field.
"Congratulations Dylan!"
