Go Canada Go!
S&R Mechanical being proudly Canadian, we wanted to wish the best for Team Canada in the Olympics starting today! Considering this exciting event kicking off today, here are some fun facts of Canadas history in the Summer Olympics.
The first Gold Medal for Canada was won by George Orton in the 1900 Paris Olympics; 124 years go! He won the 2500m steeplechase as a replacement, with only one good arm since the other was paralyzed. What a way to represent Canada!
In 1984, Canadian participants had their best Summer Olympics as they brought the most medals in Canadas history back home. In fact, they won 44 medals including 10 gold, 18 silver and 16 bronze!
We look forward to seeing the wins again this year!
