Michael Phelps has by far the most gold medals. He is the most successful Olympian with a total of 28 medals. Watching him swim is truly interesting to watch.

Hayley Wickenheiser is very cool and I got to see her in a Webex meet last year! She was an amazing hockey player and she was the first woman to play full-time professional men’s hockey in a position other than goalie, which is amazing.

Yuzuru Hanyu is an athlete that I look up to. He is such a graceful figure skater. I am always in love with his performances. He was a bit injured when doing this performance as well, which is super impressive.

RIO DE JANEIRO-Teen swimming sensation Penny Oleksiak tied for gold in the women's 100-metre freestyle on Thursday at the Rio Olympics.

The 16-year-old Toronto native finished in an Olympic record time of 52.70 seconds with American Simone Manuel. Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden captured bronze in 52.99 seconds.

"This is amazing, to tie for a gold. I never thought I'd win a gold," Oleksiak said. "She (Manuel) deserves it as much as me. It means so much."

Oleksiak becomes the first Canadian swimmer to win four medals in a single Summer Games. She has already won silver in the 100-metre butterfly, and has bronze medals in the 4x100-metre and 4x200-metre freestyle relays.

It was the first time a Canadian woman competed in the 100-metre freestyle since Marion Lay finished fourth in Mexico City in 1968.

Kelowna, B.C., native Kierra Smith finished seventh in the women's 200-metre breastroke in a time of two minutes 23.19 seconds. Japan's Rie Kaneto won the race in 2:20.30 with Russia's Yulia Efimova (2:21.97) in second and China's Jinglin Shi (2:22.28) earning bronze.

Santo Condorelli didn't qualify for the men's 50 metre freestyle final. He finished fifth in his semifinal heat but a fast swim in the second semi bumped the Kenora, Ont., native to 12th. Condorelli also fell short of qualifying for the men's 100-metre butterfly final by 0.10 seconds.

Hilary Caldwell of White Rock, B.C., advanced to the final of the women's 200-metre backstroke after finishing first in her heat in 2:07.17. Only Katinka Hosszu of Hungary had a faster time than Caldwell (2:06.03). Dominique Bouchard of North Bay, Ont., failed to advance to the final after finishing her semi in 2:09.07.

Piotr Malachowski Sells Medal to Pay for Child's Cancer Treatment

# data[].attributes.body
Piotr Malachowski sold his silver medal for a child's cancer treatment. The child was suffering from eye cancer. A Polish foundation called Siepomaga already raised one-third of the $126,000 needed for the surgery. Malachowski hoped to raise the rest. I hope the child is doing well now and I thought this story was very heartwarming.

WARSAW - Polish discus thrower Piotr Malachowski auctioned off the silver medal he won in the discus competition at the Rio Summer Olympics to help pay for the treatment of a young boy with a rare cancer, the athlete said in a social media post.

Malachowski said in a Facebook post Friday that the boy, 3-year-old Olek Szymanski, has retinoblastoma, an eye cancer affecting young children, and the only hope for treatment is in New York, far from their native Poland.

"Winning an Olympic medal is one of an athlete's life dreams," Malachowski said. "Of course, the most precious is gold. I did everything in my power to get it. Unfortunately this time I did not succeed. However, fate gave me a chance to increase the value of my 'silver.'"

Zdobycie medalu olimpijskiego to dla sportowca spełnienie życiowych marzeń. Oczywiście najcenniejszy jest ten złoty....
Posted by Piotr Małachowski on Friday, August 19, 2016

The discus thrower, who won silver in both the 2008 and 2016 Olympic Games, said the boy's mother wrote to him shortly after his recent athletic triumph to ask for help.

Reuters reports "a Polish foundation called Siepomaga has already gathered about a third of the roughly 480,000 zlotys ($126,000) it said was needed to finance the boy's treatment at ophthalmic oncologist David Abramson's clinic in New York."

In a later Facebook post, Malachowski wrote that he'd sold the medal to Dominika and Sebastian Kulczyk "for a sum that allows us to complete" the fundraiser.

"We were able to demonstrate that together we can make miracles. My silver medal is today worth much more than it was just a week ago. It is worth the life and health of little Olek. This is our great, shared success."
