We were already pleased at how well represented Toronto will be at the London Olympics next month, and now we have another homegrown athlete to cheer on. Beach volleyballer and Toronto native Josh Binstock and his B.C.-born teammate Martin Reader earned their Olympic berths last weekend, just 20 days before the Olympics are set to begin. And, based on this YouTube video chronicling their daily training routine, it couldn’t have happened to two more hard-working guys. (We couldn’t believe how much food these guys go through—the oatless oatmeal looks pretty gross but the “Olympic-sized” burrito from Chipotle near the end of the video is truly something to behold).
