Lots to choose from but the most memorable to me are:
Clara Hughes - multi-sport athlete competing in both summer and winter games. I remember watching a documentary about her and it highlighted the struggles of being an elite athlete - really humanized these talented individuals in my mind. (Plus I had a crush on her)
John Montgomery - his win and then walk through Whistler, the beer jug, how down to earth he was - one of my favourite all time sports moments
Alex Bilodeau - loved his story, his brother, etc. he really got team Canada going in 2010, took the pressure off of everyone else and opened the floodgates with the first gold medal ever won by a Canadian on home soil
