Congratulations Heather Moyse
Posted by FLATOUT JIM in Olympics
Like so many others, I am suffering from an Olympic Withdrawal. So to help in my recovery, I continue to write about the previous two weeks, and shall continue to do so, probably until the start of the Brier.
Today, I remembered a post from September about a Canadian BobSleigh athlete from Prince Edward Island, who was forced to come up with some unique training strategies when the gym near her home was closed.
Turns out that pushing cars works, as Heather Moyse and Kallie Humphries slid away with the gold medal. This was an awesome event, and a great day for Canadians as Moyse and Humphries were the last sleigh. As they raced down the track, two other Canadian sliders were sitting in first. As a result, Canada came away with 2 of the 3 medals. Congratulations to Heather, and Kallie, as well as Helen Upperton, and Shelley-Ann Brown who just got bumped off the top step of the podium by their teammates. Also Elana Meyers and Erin Pac of the United States whose bronze helped the American record medal haul.
Little time to celebrate for Heather. The women’s national rugby team player prepares for this summers upcoming Women’s Rugby World Cup in England.
Again Congratulations and thanks for the memories.
