“The first time you make the Olympics it’s a dream come true and I was pretty young, I was so happy to be a part of this amazing group of girls I was with. Then in 2012 I qualified on my own, I was the only Canadian women and I got to go with my brother to the Olympics which is pretty amazing. The last Olympics we had such a good result with women’s K4 and just get to share that with my friends is good memories.
I had to change coaches many times just because there are a lot of coaching changes on the National team by the time I was there. We went through a lot of different ways and every time you have to learn to trust, you have to learn how to deal with the program and everything so that part was pretty challenging.” – Emilie Fournel, Olympic Kayaker, Pan Am Games Gold Medalist.
