While some of us might still have to wait in lines and debate paying cover charges to get into the club, Canadian Olympic hero Katie Vincent appears to have found a new way of impressing bouncers.
In a series of photos shared by CBC on their Olympics feed on X, canoeist Vincent is seen showing off her two Olympic medals from the Paris 2024 Games to a bouncer to get inside what appears to be an exclusive club.Upon a closer zoom in the picture, it looks like the"club" in question is the Ireland Olympic house, which is meant for the family and friends of the Irish Olympic contingent.
In her gold-medal winning race, Vincent set a new world record with a time of 44.12 seconds. The 28-year-old from Mississauga edged out Nevin Harrison of U.S.A. in a photo finish, officially beating her by just 0.01 seconds. The win gave Canada its 25th medal of the Olympics, which was its most ever in a non-boycotted Summer Games."I have always wanted to be an Olympic champion since I was a kid. I can't believe it right now. I worked so hard for this, so much adversity.
"So I just really wanted to come in today and just try and improve that off yesterday. I think I'm still shaking a little bit. I mean, that's the fastest I've ever gone so to do a , and an Olympic champion – I don't have any words right now.
