RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Katherine Plouffe was having a difficult time sitting in the stands at the London Olympics, watching the Canadian women's basketball team play. She wanted to be on the court, but she wasn't ready.
If that wasn't motivation enough, she sat and watched her twin sister, Michelle, play.
That was the last bit of inspiration Katherine needed to get back to work and take that next step.
The Plouffe twins are reunited on the court at the Rio de Janeiro Games, helping Canada advance to the quarterfinals in pursuit of the country's first medal in the sport.
