Giulio Zardo: Canadian Olympian and nationalist.

Zardo was born in Montreal, and studied science at Concordia University. Zardo began his athletic career as a football player, where he represented Canada at the Global Junior Championship in Atlanta, in 2000. He was also an avid power lifter.

In August 2001 bobsled pilot, Yannick Morin walked into a gym in Montreal, and asked the owner who the strongest, and fastest person in the gym was. The owner pointed to Zardo.

Within a year he was off to the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Zardo was the brakeman for the Canadian bobsleigh team.

At six foot one, 238 pounds he was able to press above 450 pounds, and squat above 680 pounds. Zardo's fitness earned him the repuation as one of the sport's strongest pushers.

He won silver at the FIBT World Bobsleigh Championship in Lake Placid in 2003, and won gold the following year in Germany.

Zardo continues to serve Canada as a nationalist.

"I submitted the Dominion Society letter and the Mayor subsequently agreed to hoist the Red Ensign up a flagpole in front of the municipal office in Clarington, ON for National Flag Day."
