Collingwood 2014 alum Madison Mailey is off to the Olympics in Japan. Madison will be rowing in the Women's Eight. Madison qualified last year as well but went through the heartbreak all our Olympians felt when the 2020 Tokyo games were cancelled due to Covid-19. However, Madison kept up her training and now will become the third Collingwood Olympian. Janet McLachlan represented Canada in the Wheelchair Basketball at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Emily Overholt was on Canada's swim team at the 2016 Olympics.
Madison was a star rower at Collingwood and then continued to excel at Northeastern University in Boston. She rowed for the Huskies for four years while making her way up the Canadian ranks through their age-group programs. She is now an established member of the national team. After waiting an extra year to see her Olympic dream come true, Madison will be on the water on July 25 when the Women's Eight heats start. Good luck to Madison and all the members of Canada's rowing program.
