As was their only other decent sprinter Donovan Bailey (mind you so was our last 100m champion). Just seen a list of the the 15 greatest Canadian sports stars of all time - they have to include Lennox Lewis in there to get to 15. Might as well have put Greg Rusedski in there

Unusually for Anaconda, some of that is actually true. I know sod all about the Olympics historically, it was just a wind up on top of Burney's wind up.
If I wanted to really comment on how un-athletic the English are I would point out their historic futility in football, rugby and cricket with rugby and cricket being particularly amusing given how few countries of any size actually play them.
This would be because (ice) hockey dominates the Canadian sporting scene to such an extent that all other sports suffer. And that would be the sport at which Canada is currently utterly dominant, to the point that the NHL didn't bother releasing their players for the Olympics. There's no point as everyone knows who's going to win.
