Career Highlights: Hornsby attended the Beijing Games as a training partner, but he'll play a much bigger role this year. He qualified for his first Olympics by edging teammate Ryan Dolan at the World Cup in May after winning the USA's Olympic trials in the K-1 200-meter event in April. The Atlanta native also finished fifth at last year's Pan American Games in the K-2 event with Dolan. Hornsby, who has been paddling since he was 11 years old and currently resides in San Diego, will be attending the Games with his girlfriend Becky Holliday, who will represent Team USA as a pole vaulter.
