Interesting Fact: Marie-Michèle Gagnon is an avid mountain biker. When she isn’t on the slopes she will find a wooded area to go biking through wherever she is.

Chances: Heavily considered to be Canada’s best shot at a medal in female alpine skiing, Gagnon is projected to be in contention for a medal in multiple events in Sochi. At only 24, her future looks bright.
