LONDON — You hear these words so often at every Olympics, after a while you start to think they are just words. Perseverance, dedication, passion. Then Mission's Brent Hayden swims the ballsiest 100-metre freestyle race of his life.
B.C. reaction

LONDON — Two Canadian athletes emerged as the unlikely beneficiaries of a match-fixing scandal that shook their sport on Wednesday, when eight female badminton players were expelled from the London Olympics for deliberately trying to lose their matches.
The Vancouver Canucks have had preliminary discussions with the agent for centre Jason Arnott and see the 37-year-old veteran as a possible fit for their vacant third-line centre position.
Manny Malhotra will become the fourth member of the Canucks to lend his support to Patrick Burke's You Can Play Project, joining the former NHL scout to march in this year's pride parade in Vancouver.
It’s now Andy O’Brien’s turn. The Vancouver Whitecaps made another move, officially their 10th since the middle of June, announcing Wednesday that the club has acquired O’Brien from Leeds United AFC from the English League Championship.
Former Oakland Athletics slugger Jose Canseco has filed for bankruptcy protection in Nevada.
Mired in a season-high tying four-game losing streak, Robinson Cano's grand slam capped a seven-run third as the New York Yankees pounded the Baltimore Orioles, 12-3, Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a three-game set.

Clara Hughes delivers 'the best I had,' finishes fifth in Olympic cycling to cap storied career
LONDON — Clara Hughes has always known how to suffer. She was given an astonishing body, one capable of transformation and performance, a tool, but none of that mattered without the willingness to suffer. She knew how to do it, swam in it.
