Three-time Olympic gold medallist Marnie McBean
Marnie McBean is one of Canada’s most accomplished Olympic athletes. She is one of only two Canadians ever to have won three Gold medals in the summer Olympics, striking gold twice in Barcelona and once in Atlanta. Her overall Olympic and World Championship record is equally impressive: six gold, four silver, two bronze medals. Along with her partner, Kathleen Heddle, Marnie has been instrumental in turning Canada into a rowing powerhouse. Years of dedication and thousands of hours of training combined to bring pride and a joy to the Olympic program, and the country. They also set new standards for their sport, and indeed for the Canadian Olympic movement, showing that Canadians could compete successfully against the rest of the world.
