Rhian Wilkinson ends her playing career but always looking for a challenge
In the wake of winning bronze at the Rio Olympics, Rhian Wilkinson ran a marathon and crewed a yacht in the Mediterranean.
After the 2015 Women’s World Cup, she walked part of the famed Camino de Santiago trail in Spain with her mother.
The 34-year-old fullback, who says goodbye to her playing career Saturday with her 181st appearance for Canada, will likely never stop challenging herself.
So rather than a post-Olympic holiday on a beach, Wilkinson ran the Montreal marathon. “Just wanted to get that out the way,” she said breezily. “Check it off the bucket list.”
