Short Track Speed Skater Marianne St-Gelais Gets Candid About Her Journey Of Becoming A Triple Olympic Medalist

December 11, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Marianne St-Gelais

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Share with us your haircare and skincare routine?

Ms. Marianne St-Gelais:

There is not much to say since I am allergic to several products. My skin is very sensitive and I often react to over-perfumed products. My routine is very simple, natural products and fragrance free! I wash my face morning and evening and use a hydrating cream. The cold of the arena makes the skin dry! Also, I use very gentle shampoo, let’s say that the helmet every day on the head does not leave much places to fancy hairstyles!

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding short track speed skaters who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in this field?

Ms. Marianne St-Gelais:

One word: fun! I believe that with great fun, perseverance and passion, we can achieve great things.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

2010 was, by far, the most successful year of your career, with 2 Olympic silvers, 2 world championship silvers, and a world’s bronze. How did you feel after the year ended having accomplished so much?

Marianne St-Gelais

Ms. Marianne St-Gelais:

I was very happy with that season. It was my first season where I did all the races on the World Cup tour. As soon as I qualified for Vancouver, I knew I had a potential in short-track speed skating. That motivated me, gave me the desire and aspiration to surpass myself. Winning the Olympic medial gave me a sport at the World championship. My career starts progressing to another level after 2010.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Who has been your greatest influence and motivator in your success in the field of your career?

Ms. Marianne St-Gelais:

Perdita Félicien, a track and field Olympian. I first saw her at the 2004 Athens Olympics. I was 14 back then, just starting to realize that I wanted to pursue speed skating more seriously. She was the World Champion, and was supposed to win the Olympics’ hurdle race. She tripped on the first hurdle and couldn’t finish the race. She faced the media, devastated.

She said that she knew she deserved the Olympic champion title and was going to prove everybody wrong. In four years, she would be back and win the race. Perdita really touched me and inspired me when she said that. I realized that, to be an Olympian, you must have an incredible attitude and willpower. I also learned you must face the media, no matter what.
