"I'm going to buy myself a kayak, an ocean kayak. My husband (Peter Guzman) has done some amazing ocean trips on the kayak and he's going to teach me. I'm going to go on some adventures with him.” - Clara Hughes


Congratulations to Canadian Speedskater, Clara Hughes who captured a bronze medal in her final race ever, the 5000m yesterday (Feb 24, 2010) at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC.

According to Wikipedia, Hughes is one of only five people who have won medals in both the Summer and Winter Games (speedskating and cycling), and is the only person ever to have won multiple medals in both.
