Sport is an artistic form of self-expression
“When the Olympics roll around, sport becomes synonymous with culture,” says Clara Hughes, the first Canadian to medal in both the summer and winter Olympics and only one of four in the world ever to do so!
“I do think sport is an important part of culture. I feel with the Olympics coming up in 2010 in Vancouver we will be able to, if done properly, inspire an entire generation. For me, skating has always been a sort of ‘poetry in motion’ and I have always seen sport as my form of self-expression. It is a fantastic outlet and one that allows for growth in very raw way, which is how I would describe art.”
