On a Friday night in September, Sharon
Donnelly will finally finish her long Olympic quest
Thirty-nine days from now, the competition at the first Summer Olympics of the new
millennium will begin with some of the world's finest female athletes churning through the
waters of Sydney Harbour, swimming their way toward a golden goal. Sharon Donnelly will be
among them. - August 6, 2000 |
Tattoo
tells a tale- Limpert proud to bear the traditional
maple leaf mark
While
getting a red maple leaf tattoo is common for members
of Canadian national teams, it's particularly appropriate
for Marianne Limpert. - August 6, 2000 |
Triathlete Montgomery recovers remarkably from
artery blockage
Sometimes when she thinks about it, Carol Montgomery feels overwhelmed. At 34, she's on
the brink of competing in her first Olympic Games. You would think that would be enough to
make anybody's heart flutter. (Globe and Mail) - July 8, 2000 |
Donnelly
wants to make amends
Sharon Donnelly knows what it's like to hit the high point of her triathlon career in
her home country. But she also knows what it's like to skid to the lowest point faster
than you can say "wet suit." - July 7, 2000 |
Swimming rivalry is good
Joanne Malar and Marianne Limpert have determined that what they have is a rivalry, not a
feud. Two of Canada's top medal hopes in the Olympic pool -- and two of the top individual
medley swimmers in the world -- say their energies will be better used to push each other
toward the podium in Sydney, not off it. (Globe and Mail) - June 1, 2000 |
Profile
of swimmer Joanne Malar
Joanne Malar admits that the excitement of qualifying in August of 1999, with the Olympics
over a year away, is tough to sustain. "To get that awesome time at the Pan Ams with
the Olympics still so far in the future was, in a way, difficult for me," Malar said.
