Membre Nomm\u00e9\"\"<\/a><\/strong>
\nCommission des athl\u00e8tes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helen a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 deux \u00e9ditions des Jeux olympiques o\u00f9 elle a remport\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent en bobsleigh. Elle a commenc\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re en bobsleigh comme freineuse en 2002. Elle est devenue pilote en 2003, et d\u00e8s sa premi\u00e8re saison aux commandes, elle est devenue pilote du Canada 1. Depuis, elle a inscrit de nombreux records, et elle est pass\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019histoire \u00e0 plus d\u2019une reprise. C\u2019est notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 elle si le programme canadien de bobsleigh f\u00e9minin est maintenant l\u2019un des meilleurs au monde.<\/p>\n

Lors de sa premi\u00e8re participation olympique en 2006, Helen et sa co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re Heather Moyse ont termin\u00e9 en quatri\u00e8me place, ratant la m\u00e9daille de bronze de peu, soit cinq centi\u00e8mes de secondes cumul\u00e9es sur quatre descentes. Ce r\u00e9sultat a eu des cons\u00e9quences \u00e0 la fois d\u00e9vastatrices et motivantes pour l\u2019\u00e9quipe. Elle a atteint l\u2019apog\u00e9e de sa carri\u00e8re en f\u00e9vrier 2010 lors des Jeux olympiques de Vancouver. Helen et sa co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re Shelley Ann Brown ont galvanis\u00e9 la foule mass\u00e9e au centre des sports de glisse de Whistler en remportant la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent pour accompagner leurs co\u00e9quipi\u00e8res Kaillie Humphries et Heather Moyse mont\u00e9es sur la plus haute marche du podium.<\/p>\n

Avant de concourir en bobsleigh, Helen a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 des comp\u00e9titions de niveau national en luge, en soccer et en athl\u00e9tisme. Apr\u00e8s avoir termin\u00e9 ses \u00e9tudes secondaires, elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de se consacrer \u00e0 l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme, repr\u00e9sentant l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Texas \u00e0 Austin en triple saut. \u00c0 cette institution, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9e au tableau d\u2019honneur du commissaire du Big XII et a obtenu un baccalaur\u00e9at en sciences en 2002.<\/p>\n

Helen reconna\u00eet l\u2019importance de pratiquer des activit\u00e9s sportives pendant l\u2019enfance et sait que cela a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 son succ\u00e8s en tant qu\u2019adulte. Elle aime donc s\u2019impliquer dans sa communaut\u00e9. R\u00e9sidente de Calgary, Helen fait de son mieux pour redonner \u00e0 la ville o\u00f9 elle a grandi. En plus de prendre la parole \u00e0 des \u00e9v\u00e9nements organis\u00e9s par des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s et entreprises, elle adore rendre visite \u00e0 des \u00e9coles pour parler aux enfants. Elle le fait dans le cadre du programme Youth Education Through Sport, \u00e0 Calgary, ainsi que dans le cadre du programme Passion for Excellence. Elle est \u00e9galement une athl\u00e8te ambassadrice des organismes Right to Play et Fast and Female.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
