| OTHER INFORMATION: |
OLYMPIC FRUSTRATION As a multiple world championship winner in the C1 200m, she has not competed at the Olympic Games as only kayak sprint events are on the Olympic programme for female paddlers. "What I am sad about is that we have been working hard over the last few years to make sure that we would be ready whenever they wanted us to race. I'll be waiting, but I am impatient for the 2020 Games [in Tokyo], hoping that we will be there." (cbc.ca, 2015)TRAINING SLOWDOWNDuring her studies she had less time to train, but her coach Mathieu Pelletier believes that period could help to extend her career. "She had to slow down her training volume in the off-season, so it helped her body to heal a little bit. She will be able to keep going a year or two more than she could have because of those slowdowns." (cbc.ca, 2015) |
