Canada's pride for 2010 was 24 year old Joannie Rochette of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was one of the best in the world. I have really liked her since I was little. Infact, when I was 9 I went and saw her on Stars on Ice Canada and she would always skate to Madonna's "Like a Prayer". I remember her and I remember when I was little also I would pretend to talk to her in French and English because ofcourse she is French Canadian like my dad's side of the family. I took Figure Skating Lessons but I decided dance better but I still love it. Joannie is my inspiration and always will be.
Sunday Morning, Joannie's 55 year old mother had a major heart attack in the Olympic Stands. Infact she had just arrived that morning, because Joannie was going to be skating two days after. Joannie's mother had died. Right there in the middle of her daughter's big moment in life, she doesn't get to see it. Her father drove two hours to tell Joannie the news. What a tragidy.
I could not believe my sort of hero Joannie Rochette had this tragedy happen to her. Joannie decided to skate for her mother and in honour of her mother. It takes a lot of courage to do that! That's why everyone thinks of her as an inspiration now. Not just me.
Joannie won Bronze Medal for Canada which is quite amazing for someone who's mother had just died. This is why she is my inspiration. She just never gives up!
Joannie, je parle a toi en francias parce que nous sommes francophone, je pense le Canada sont tres content parce que quoi tu fais yier! Je T'aime Joannie!
