Olympic Games: Mich ., and Wasn T

olympic games: The 11-year-old kid signed up to run the next day, according to Metro News. Fifteen years later, Kaba is heading to Rio to represent Canada at his first Olympic Games. It wasn't until his family immigrated to Ypsilanti, Mich., that he first saw high school hurdlers training at a track facility. It means a great deal to be able to represent this great country that took me in, says the elite hurdler, who trains at the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club. As a newly landed immigrant with no English, he was bullied as a kid. But it has been a bumpy road to Rio for Kaba. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
