Cameron Baerg won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens in the men’s 2,000 metres coxless four, earning Canada’s only rowing medal at those Olympics in an incredible photo-finish. He also won a world championship with the Canadian coxless four in 2003 in Milan.
Chris Getflaf celebrates with fans after winning the 2013 Grey Cup.
Chris Getzlaf played 11 seasons in the Canadian Football League – 10 of those with his hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders. Getzlaf was named the Most Valuable Canadian of the 101st Grey Cup, as he caught three passes for 78 yards in the Riders’ 45-23 victory. He was also a two-time CFL West All-Star.

The 2011 Saskatoon Valkyries championship football team.
The 2011-2014 Saskatoon Valkyries football teams took the field for the first time in 2011 and set a standard of excellence for the rest of the Western Women’s Canadian Football League. The Valkyries won the first four WWCFL titles and only lost one game in their four-year title run. In only their third year as a team, nine players and two alternates were chosen to play for Canada at the IFAF Women’s World Championship
