Marc
started speed skating at the age of
3. His older brother was speed skating
in Chicoutimi at the time. His parents
began teaching this sport and instead
of spending money for a nanny they took
Marc with them to the ice rink. At only
4 years old, he put on his first long
blade skates to take part in regional
races. At 14, Marc noticed his ability
as a speed skater. He started dreaming
about the National Team. He began training
very hard and at 15 he qualified to
become a member of the National Team.
At 17, he won his first World Championship.
Everything was going to be for the better
after that moment.
Today Marc Gagnon is a well known name
across Canada and the World. Itís
hard to find a person that has never
heard of him. Sympathetic, a good sense
of humour, a sweet talker and the good
looks make up "L'image de Marc" |
