In one of the most exciting finishes ever, Canada's Simon Whitfield won a Silver Medal tonight, just getting outkicked by Germany's Jan Frodeno. Remarkably, Simon appeared to get dropped by the leading men several times during the last 5 km, only to catch them in the last km. He then blew apart the last 3 men when he started his finishing sprint. Bevan Docherty and Javier Gomez both could not go with Whitfield, but somehow the big German withstood Simon's sprint and was able to go past Whitfield with about 200m to go.
Regardless, Canada is sooo proud of Simon! Go Canada go!
