Gagnon puts her all-around ski skills to the test in pursuit of Olympic medal
LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Marie-Michele Gagnon has to trust her plan and her talent.
The 28-year-old from Lac-Etchemin, Que., wants to ski fast in two very different races to win a medal in February’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Gagnon is a slalom specialist who kept a toe in the speed events of downhill and super giant slalom throughout her career.
A regular podium contender in slalom and proficient enough in speed races, the best results of Gagnon’s career have come in alpine combined.
