Marie-Eloise Leclair shares her journey from a Montreal athlete to becoming a Canadian Olympian competing in the 4x100m relay at the Paris Olympics. National Record Holder 13x All-American D2, her story weaves through early sports experiences, collegiate decisions, Olympic village insights, and her ongoing development as an elite sprinter.
• Originally recruited to SFU as a 400m hurdler before her coach redirected her to pure sprinting
• Competing in the NCAA while remaining in Canada through SFU's unique position as the only Canadian school in the NCAA
• Playing multiple sports growing up including flag football, which she describes as her favorite sport
• The Paris Olympics exceeded all expectations with family support in the stands and incredible village experiences
• Taking creatine as a performance supplement and noticing significant physical benefits
• Managing multiple training modalities including swimming for recovery and cross-training
• Preparing for upcoming World Relays competition in China while navigating jet lag challenges
• Behind-the-scenes Olympic experiences including podium kit stories and closing ceremony challenges
Don't count yourself out, work hard, and always have fun. That's what kept me in the sport for so long and what allowed me to have all these amazing memories.
