Getting To Know Our 2010 Inductee!

Clara Hughes - The Olympic dream of Clara Hughes began in 1988 when she caught her first glimpse of the Winter Games on Television. Watching speed skaters glide around the oval inspired her to believe that one day she, too, could represent Canada in that same sport. Little did she imagine that in pursuing her speed skating dream, she would first compete in two Summer Olympic Games, in the sport of cycling. With over one hundred victories under her belt, including two bronze medals in the 1996 Olympic Summer Games, medals in both the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, plus numerous World Cycling and National Championship titles, Clara had established herself as one of the best cyclists in the world and was now ready to refocus and pursue her Speed Skating Dream. Congratulations to Clara Hughes! Class of 2010!
