Olympian Marie-Eve Drolet’s short-track career a series of comebacks
CALGARY — Marie-Eve Drolet’s short-track speedskating career has been anything but straightforward.
After helping Canada’s women earn Olympic relay bronze in 2002, it was a dozen years before she raced in another Winter Games.
Drolet took six years off from short track to study and travel before putting her blades back on in 2008. She didn’t make the Canadian team for the 2010 Winter Games.
She broke her hip six months out from the 2014 Games, but recovered in time to race and earn a relay silver in Sochi, Russia.
