Tonight on CBC, Canadian Olympic hurdlers Perdita Felicien and Angela Whyte are set to appear on the Family Feud Canada’s celebrity week in the hope of winning money towards a charity that once supported Felicien and her family, which provides a safe and supportive environment for abused women and their children in Ontario’s Durham region. pic.twitter.com/eXzsz1Y7MQ — Family Feud Canada (@FamilyFeudCa) January 6, 2022The two Canadian sprinters will be joined by three other Canadian Olympians to complete their Family Feud team: Jennifer Salling (softball), Tabia Charles-Collins (long jump) and Pamphinette Buisa (rugby). Felicien is a two-time world championship medallist in the 100m hurdles and holds the Canadian record in the event (12.46). Whyte and Felicien both represented Canada at every world championship meet from 2001 to 2009 – the only two women in the 100m hurdles to do that during that span. During Whyte’s career, she won three straight medals in the 100m hurdles at three straight Commonwealth Games.
