Anthony Wright is a field hockey player from Vancouver who finished in 10th place at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. He is excited about the 2010 Winter Games coming to his hometown and for the whole country being able to share the excitement of the Games.
Athletic Goals
After achieving my main goal of competing at the 2008 Olympic Games, I am now looking ahead to ensure the Canadian field hockey team qualifies again for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.
Favourite Olympic/Sporting Moment
The most special moment of my career was singing the national anthem before our first game (against defending gold medalist Australia) at the 2008 Olympic Games. Knowing that I had achieved my foremost athletic ambition by representing Canada at the Olympics and having my family there to support me was an incredible experience.

Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?
Being an RBC Athlete means...
I am very proud to be a part of the RBC Olympians program. It is fantastic that RBC understands that the values and experiences that make an athlete successful carry over to all arenas of life. The opportunity to gain exciting work experience while still competing for Canada is providing me with a healthy balance to actively pursue both my Olympic and my career goals.
