Winning gold in the 3,000 metre and silver in the 1,500 metre-event for Team Ontario provided fans with a peak at what would become one of the greatest skating careers in Canadian history. Fast-forward to today and the 34-year-old sporting legend possesses a tro- phy case that is the envy of nearly every athlete in the country. She captured a silver medal in the ladies 1500 metre and a bronze in ladies 3000 metre for Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and earned a pair of silver medals during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games held in Turin, becoming only the 11th Canadian to win four medals in an Olympic career. Off the ice, Groves has used her notoriety to promote worthwhile causes such as Clean Air Champions ± speaking to school children about climate change and the choices they can make to help the environment.
