While there are no athletes from Exeter- Grand Bend going to the Paris Olympics, there are four from London.
London’s Jessie Fleming is a midfielder for the women’s national soccer team.
Fleming is one of the country’s best soccer players and has recently stepped into the role of captain of the team, filling a gigantic void left by the retirement of Canadian legend Christine Sinclair.
Fleming has also just become the newest brand ambassador for lululemon, which is outfitting Canadian athletes at this year’s Games.
The reigning Olympic champs are trying to reach the Games podium for the fourth time in a row.
Women’s soccer Group A play is already underway (started Thursday) and the gold medal game is August 10th.
