Penny Oleksiak used to be Jamie's sister.

Jamie Oleksiak, after all, is a professional hockey player - a former NHL first-round pick who's expected to contribute on the Dallas Stars' blue line next season. One week into the Summer Olympics, though, Jamie is now known as Penny's brother.

The swimmer cemented her legacy as one of Canada's most decorated Olympic athletes on Thursday night, winning a gold medal - her fourth medal at Rio 2016. And she's only 16 years old.

Jamie's in Rio to watch his sister's coming out party, and, much like the rest of Canada, he's seeing gold.
