Simon Whitfield discovers today if he has another Olympian moment in him at age 37.
The Victoria triathlete and two-time Olympic medal list, who served as the Canadian team's flag bearer in the 2012 London Summer Games opening ceremony, was set to compete in the men's triathlon through Hyde Park at 3: 30 a.m. Pacific time.
If Whitfield needed any inspiration, he only had to look to the gutsy Canadian women's soccer team. They put in a stirring performance before losing 4-3 to the heavily-favoured U.S. in a controversial Olympic semifinal.
