Family, friends and neighbours gathered at the home of Don and Deb Suttie northeast of Hanley on Friday morning to watch proudly as their daughter Taryn competed for Team Canada in the shot put event at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Taryn (shown in inset) made all three shots with a top throw of 16.74 metres, but did not qualify for the final round.
