The Canadian Cross Country team decided at the last minute not to use Brian Mckeever, who is legally blind. in the 50KM Cross Country event at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
Brian tweeted: “Olympic dream over. Don’t think I’ve ever been so sad.”
Canada's push to "Own The Podium" seemed to override the PR of having an Paralympian compete in the regular Olympics as well.
Brian will be competing in the Paralympics which starts March 12, 2010.
The team by the way finished 5th, 18th, 32nd and 33rd.
