[habernac]

didn't see a thread on this. Alberta girl did amazing things in her sport. Good luck to her in future endeavours!

She sure is the only x-country skiier I know by name. An amazing career. And best of all she did it clean, something her competitors seemed to have a tough time doing.

She's the second best Canadian nordic athlete ever (Mariam Bedard). Also one of my favorite Olympians, it's a shame that she never got a gold medal ceremony at the games.

yes it is a shame she never got to stand on the top of the podium and hear O Canada. But did she not get a second ceremony when she arrived back home? i am not even canadian and i know her by name and looks and really liked what she did for her sport. She was a fantastic athlete, a great role model and a genuine nice person. I wish her all the best in whatever she decides to do next. Hint: come and train British XC skiers :P
