Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influencer and motivator in your success in the field of your career in competitive cross-country mountain bike racing ?
Ms. Catharine Pendrel:
Probably my husband. He was the one who encouraged me to compete at the elite level, to approach my future coach to take me on as an athlete and supported my decision to continue racing even when I was mostly broke and not sure if I would ever reach the next level. He always believed in me, gave me honest feedback and made sure that cycling stayed fun.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your experience of winning gold at 2014 Commonwealth Games in cross-country mountain bike racing in Glasgow?
Ms. Catharine Pendrel:
The Commonwealth Games were a neat event, a mini-Olympics. Any time you get to represent your country at a major Games is special, to continue Canada’s Gold medal winning streak and to overcome a disappointing Olympics in 2012 was very rewarding.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Catharine Pendrel:
I think that we create much of our own fate, but I do feel very lucky to have the people in my life that I do. My family, the Canadian national team and the Luna team, an all women’s race team designed to give women the pro support men’s teams enjoy. These amazing people have made my success possible and a fun journey.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
