Humboldt’s Brianne Theisen-Eaton will begin her fight for the podium in the heptathlon in Rio on Friday. 

She holds the Canadian record in the heptathlon – a grueling sport consisting of seven track and field events.  She once considered her 2015 silver medal placement at the World Championships a failure, but now considers it a lesson in her Olympic journey.
