Jared Connaughton: Bronze Medal

Connaughton Dept: On Saturday, in the final of the men's 4 x 100-metre relay race, it appeared as though Connaughton and the Canadian team had won bronze, according to CBC. I can live with it. I m a man, and I can take it on the chin, Connaughton told News Saturday . But for Justyn, Seyi, Gavin, not to have a bronze medal is the most disappointing thing of it all and sport PEI officials hope for a big crowd at the Charlottetown Airport Monday evening to welcome Island Olympian Jared Connaughton home after an emotional weekend. But Canada was disqualified because Connaughton stepped slightly outside his lane, just toeing the line, during his run. Immediately, on national TV, the Islander took full responsibility and apologized to his country and teammates. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
