From Rugby to Real Estate: One REALTOR®’s Journey to the Olympics

["\n

Starting a real estate career in the middle of a global pandemic and frenzied housing market is challenging enough. Lucas Hammond<\/a> did it while training for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27-year-old Victoria, British Columbia resident made his\nOlympic debut in Tokyo this summer as a member of Canada’s rugby sevens team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepping on to the field to play in his first Olympic game is a moment\nhe’ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was unbelievable. Regardless of the fact that no one was there [in the stands] and there were so many different protocols in place, it didn’t take away from the feeling of walking onto the field for the first time. It was amazing. It was years and years of hard work for that one moment. It was really special,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1️⃣ day until #Tokyo2020<\/a>!
