Cindy Klassen sounds like a champion. Asked how she stay focused, she replied “When I’m going through the hard times I always believe that I can do it.” As a member of the Canadian Olympic Women’s Speed Skating Team Cindy won gold at the 2006 games in Turin. She won five medals in total over the course of the games, tying the record for the most medals won by a speed skater in a single Olympic Games.
