@JasonBeck82 @BCSportsHall Thx for creating this thread! Jack is a sports medicine LEGEND. A visionary in our field. I first met Jack at the 2000 Olympics when he was CMO + I was an athlete, then full circle he trained me as a sports med doc + included us on his med team in 2010. He made us all better.💕

[Kara Solmundson MD OLY 🇨🇦 @MD_HEAL]

Jack was a legend! His impact on the medical, sport and running communities is difficult to quantify. Along with his numerous accolades (Sports Hall of Fame, Order of Canada) he was a gem of a human. He made all those around him better. RIP Jack ❤️

We lost one of the very best yesterday in Dr. Jack Taunton. Jack was a constant in the BC sports community for decades, particularly running and athletics, but other sports as well. He was a top marathoner, running in the 2:20's and he estimated covering nearly 200,000km in.../2

Named to the 🇨🇦Canadian Junior National Team this morning — Finn can play.

Held in a blind spot last year, he’s healthy & primed for a big season. One of the more polished UC 2025’s in BC.

Olympic bloodlines.

[𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦 @GeorgeHalim_]

🇨🇦Finn’s a sleeper from BC.

Has true two-way potential that hasn’t been tapped into yet, he’ll be a fun follow this coming year.

Looks all the part in the box, can do it on the mound as well. Athletic bloodlines.

Great Summary @Paddy_Barrett! Love @PeterAttiaMD “Outlive” and concept of the Centenarian Olympics. Informative thread you’ve laid out. #Movement_is_Medicine!

Exercise is probably the single best way to extend lifespan.

You need to exercise like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

Here's why.
