This episode of Ortho Insider is brought to you by Sanofi Canada, committed to advancing healthcare and helping Canadians with Osteoarthritis.

On this special Canadian Orthopaedic Care Day episode of Ortho Insider, host Dr. Adrian Huang sits down with Canadian track and field legend Bruny Surin. From Olympic gold medalist to successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, Surin shares the remarkable journey that took him from Haiti to the world stage.

He opens up about the mindset that powered his sprinting success, how he overcame adversity—including the cloud of suspicion after a major doping scandal rocked Canadian athletics—and the mental resilience that shaped both his athletic and professional life. Surin also discusses the powerful role visualization, coaching, and community played in his career, and how those same values guide the mission of the Bruny Surin Foundation today.

This episode is a powerful reminder that health, opportunity, and support systems are foundational to reaching one’s potential—in sports and in life.

Note: Bruny Surin is a paid ambassador for Sanofi. His views are his own and are based on his personal experiences.
