Sanford carries small town pride all the way to the Olympic podium

For the first time in 28 years, a Canadian is heading home from the Olympic Games with a boxing medal.

And more specifically, the medal will be brought home to the rural Nova Scotia town of Kennetcook, as Wyatt Sanford’s split decision loss to France’s Sofiane Oumiha in a semifinal of the men’s 63.5kg event on Sunday earned him a bronze medal.
