Day 10: Oh, Canada

Oh Canada, you've been punked in film (Canadian Bacon) and song (Blame Canada) and now it took you eight days to get a single medal at the Beijing Olympics. How could that happen??? Even places like Togo, Croatia and Azerbaijan already had medals by then.

You made up for it by sending this guy, Jared Connaughton, to the Olympics:

No, he hasn't won any medals (yet!) but he certainly serves to distract from the memory of that eight day abstention from victory.

Connaughton hails from New Haven, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He's a track & field athlete representing the land of the maple leaf in the upcoming 200m and will also run the 2nd leg of the 4x100m relay. He's already successfully qualified for the 200m semifinal on Thursday....so don't blame Jared -- Blame Canada! Off the track, Jared is a Law student, and a Cancer, born on the cusp of Leo, making him a sensitive introvert, ambitious, proud, creative, flamboyant, nurturing, traditional, strong, expressive, organized, inspiring, intuitive, cheerful, self-assured, practical, realistic, romantic, social, dependent, passionate, generous, emotional, and today's Olympic Boyfriend of the Day.
(P.S.: why does he need all those upper body muscles to run track? Oh... nevermind, they can stay.)
