Swimmer

The Resume

    (June 27, 1967- )
    First Olympian to win a silver and gold medal in the same event (1992)
    Won the Gold medal for Solo Synchronized Swimming (awarded December, 1993)
    Olympic Team Synchronized Swimmer Silver medalist (1996)
    Published her autobiography 'Sylvie Fréchette: sans fausse note (Gold at Last)'
    Member of Canadian Sports Hall of Fame

Why she might be annoying:

    What the hell is solo-synchronized swimming?
    She started a trend of Canadians getting a silver medal, appealing and then getting the gold medal.
    Her fiancé, Sylvian Lake, committed suicide a week before her Olympics (July 18, 1992).
    Ed Sprague a baseball third baseman for Toronto was constantly booed at home, because they blamed his wife Kristen Babb-Sprague for robbing Sylvie's gold medal.
    She upset a number of Canadian sportscasters after a highly publicized retirement in 1995 to return to the 1996 Olympics.

Why she might not be annoying:

    A judge accidentally marked the scorecard 8.7 instead of 9.7 which gave her the silver medal for solo synchronized swimming (1992).
    The judge immediately told the referee of her error, but the referee refused to rectify the situation giving the Gold to American Kristen Babb-Sprague.
    One year later Sylvie was awarded a gold medal.
    She is a spokesperson reminding people to get flu shots.
    Her father died when she was three.
    She is the namesake of an award presented since 1999, by the Canadian Sports Federation, to athletes who overcome great difficulties to triumph in their sport.
