Native swimmer represents Canada in Olympics
Monday, July 21, 2008
Filed Under: First Nations | Sports

Adam Sioui, a member of the Huron Tribe in Ontario, is representing Canada at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Sioui is competing in three events for Canada. He's bringing along his family, his major source of support.

"If my parents weren’t there to give me money, to give me support of all kinds, it’s hard to say, but I don’t think I would have made it to this level," Sioui tells Metro News Canada.

Siuoi barely missed making the 2000 and 2004 Olympics.
