On episode ten of the True North Podcast, host Benedict Rhodes is joined by Team Canada’s chef de mission for the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games, and Olympic champion, Christine Girard.
The pair discuss what the role of a chef de mission is, and how preparation is going for the major multi-sport games this fall. They also talk about Christine’s career as a weightlifter, and the eventful process of learning that she had become an Olympic champion, years after the event had ended, as a result of other competitors being caught doping.
It’s a fascinating story, and one she says is a victory for not only her, but the values of Canadians and all anti-doping advocates.
All of that and much more on this episode of the True North Podcast.
