Cindy Klassen
Induction category: Athlete
Cindy Klassen’s journey began at the age of two when her dad handed her a homemade hockey stick and skates. As a girl who loved sports, she dreamt of becoming a world-class hockey player. But when she didn’t make the Olympic team, she faced a tough decision. Instead of giving up, she boldly switched to speed skating, where she initially struggled—getting lapped by kids half her age! However, her grit and determination quickly paid off. At the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Cindy captured her first Medal—a bronze in the 3000m. Four years later, she became the first Canadian to win five medals in a single Winter Olympic Games, including a gold in the 1500m and a silver in the Team Pursuit. With six Olympic medals and 115 international accolades under her belt, she still holds the world record in the 3000m! Beyond her remarkable achievements, Cindy is passionate about empowering others and inspiring the next generation to chase their dreams, no matter the obstacles they encounter..
