An incredible interview coming your way today as we speak with legendary Canadian canoeist and two-time Olympic medallist Laurence Vincent Lapointe about her extraordinary career and recent experience in Tokyo! We find out from Laurence how she got into the sport and why she continued to persist in a sport that she didn't exactly take to immediately. We also learn about the amazing barriers she had to break throughout her career in order to succeed and just why canoe seemed to be so anti-female for so many years. Added to this we also learn about how a simple kiss nearly destroyed her Olympic dream and how she felt becoming a viral star after the Olympics for simply not staying in her boat. It's one of our most honest and raw interviews we have ever done so don't miss it!
