After representing Canada three times at the Summer Games, Toronto’s Alysha Newman has broken through with a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The Track & Field athlete specializes in Pole Vaulting, holding records at both the Commonwealth and Canadian Games record. She became the first ever Canadian woman to win a medal at the Olympics in Pole Vaulting.
After some rest and relaxation in France, Newman made her way back to her hometown, rocking her Nike suitcase, holding her broze medal. Despite some delays, she was in amazing spirits, looking forward most to visiting her grandmother! Love her.
After raising some eyebrows twerking to the camera after her medal-winning performance, we celebrated with a little twerk of our own. She’s an amazing sport! National Treasure.
Our Team Canada fever keeps going! So thrilled also we were able to find PHIL WIZARD (Phil Kim)! Born in Toronto though now based in Vancouver, he got the gold with the distinction of being the first ever to get top honours in the discipline at the Olympics!
Toronto is in for a treat as he performs as a last minute addition to the lineup at the 2024 King’s Plate taking place at Woodbine Racetrack, North America’s most historic horse race. He performs at both the Paris Texas Clubhouse and the Hats & Horseshoes Party! He also is just amazingly kind and gracious. What a star!
