“Anders has been such a big part in my career, he’s had an amazing paddling career and there’s a reason why I made it to 3 Olympics, he was a big reason for that. We’ve had some pretty amazing trips together and life has been crazy because you know he was competing and I was competing and we weren’t training at the same place. He just gave the memory trophy for Adam and for us it’s such a big part of our life because that’s how we met, it’s all linked clearly. He’s been really helpful, he stopped paddling after the London Olympics but he supported me for 1 more, I think the 2 of us now are getting on this adventure and we are not so sure what we got ourselves into but it’s pretty good. He agreed to come to Canada with me to have the baby so it’s all been a bit of a challenge so I think we will be okay.” – Emilie Fournel, Olympic Kayaker, Pan Am Games Gold Medalist. (4/6)
