Stars' Oleksiak left speechless after sister's silver-medal win at Rio
Dallas Stars defenseman Jamie Oleksiak is one proud big brother.
Oleksiak was rendered nearly speechless on Sunday night after his 16-year-old sister, Penny Oleksiak, captured the silver medal for Canada in the women's 100m butterfly at the summer games in Rio.
I don't even know what to say right now, that was one of the most intense and amazing things I've seen 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Penny finished second to Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom who captured gold. For Penny it marks her second medal in as many days, after helping Canada claim bronze in the 4x100m freestyle on Saturday.

Of course, the elder Oleksiak is also a decorated athlete himself after winning a bronze medal as a member of Canada's World Junior hockey team in 2012.
