If you don’t know Penny Oleksiak by now you might live under a rock.
Penny is a Canadian Olympic swimmer and she’s already a pretty big deal! On Saturday the Toronto native led Canada to their first medal of the Tokyo Olympics in the women’s 4X100 freestyle earning them silver! With the win, Penny picked up her 5th summer games medal, tying the record for most won by a Canadian at the Olympics.
At just 21 years old, she’s just getting started!
Penny is the younger sister of Seattle Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak, and he is more than proud to be her brother! Seth Rorabaugh, a writer for Tribune-ReviewSports, asked Jamie how much of a star his sister is. He explained that she beat Sidney Crosby in winning the Lou Marsh award in 2016, while Crosby was RIGHT there!
We love a proud older brother moment.
