Spectator and Spectrum are here throughout the next two weeks to bring you updates and interviews from Columbia Olympians in our #LondonLions series. Today, we profile one of our #LondonLions, Erison Hurtault. Follow @CU_Spectator and @CUSpecSportsto make sure you’re up to date.
Erison Hurtault, CC '07, is representing the Commonwealth of Dominica, running in the Men's 400m this Saturday, Aug 4. He was also the country's flag-bearer in the Opening Ceremony. This is his second Olympics, having also run the same event in Beijing in 2008.
Oh, and also, he's looking for a date when he gets back to NYC. E-mail him maybe! For now, get to know him a little better by checking out his responses to our five questions.
1. So, is it true (that the Olympic Village is a den of sex)?
I have been to a number of villages for major games and have heard a lot of stories. As of now, things are still pretty relaxed here in London, but when more athletes finish competing and start bringing medals back to the village, I'm sure things will get a bit more interesting.
