Ivanie Blondin, Canada's speed skating star
 

bit of a story about her (i will make myself)

she was at first mostly shining at the ''mass start'' events

but now this weekend she had her long distance successes too



here beating superstar from czechs Sablikova at her distance 5000m



also winning 1500m



and with her team mates she won ladies team pursuit

and 3 weeks back, winning mass start




yeah from glory days with Groves, Klassen, Wotherspoon, Hughes, so now Canada has it's speed skating stars again in Blondin, Weidemann

and to think of her actually retiring from speed skating in 2010, but making her comeback few years later, makes this journey even more impressive
