    hey Clara
    Good luck at the Olympics and have fun waving the flag! I think it would be so cool to be able to carry the flag for Canada. I love skating too but I don't think i'll make it to the olympics. I have a question and it is what do you like more speed skating or bicycling? Witch one if harder? Witch are you better at?

    My name is Liam and I'm five years old. I think its so cool that you used to be a cyclist. I love biking.

    I was cheering for you today in the 3000m. You skated a great race and I was sorry it wasn't enough to get you the gold medal. Best of luck in the rest of your races. I'm proud of you.

    Hi,
    My name is Erin, i'm in grade 8 and i live in Ontario. my french teacher wants us to do an essay on a canadian athlete. i chose you because i think that you are an amazing speed skater and cycler. i like to ride my bike a lot. during the summer i ride it like 10km a day! i think that you are an inspiration to me and other aspiring athletes. today when i went to girl guides, my leader said how you placed bronze in the summer olympics and no one really knew who you were! i was amazed at how you came out of nowhere.
    i wish you the best of luck in the olympics. i'll be cheering for you. you are an inseration to me to work really hard on my cycling and maybe even try out new sports.
    Good Luck :) :)
    Erin :) :) ;)

    You are truly an inspiration. I so admire your dedication and hard work. I am so glad that you earned another medal before leaving the sport. Not to mention your other showing was an impressive 5th place and you skated a technically-sound race.
    I can't wait to see what you do next! You are a powerful and beautiful woman. Congratulations :D

    Clara, thank you so much for speaking out about mental illness. My best friend was recently diagnosed with BPD after 23 years of struggling to figure our exactly what was wrong. She knew it was more than just depression. Now she finds out that the counselling she needs is $180 an hour, and her insurance covers only $500 a year. So basically she can't afford treatment. I'm very angry that something like this isn't covered for all Canadians. Even her doctor admitted that most BPD patients can't afford the treatment they need. Needless to say, my friend is very frustrated and discouraged right now. Thank you for speaking out for people like her who need help but can't get it. You've been an inspiration to Canadians for years because of your athleticism and humanitarian work, but you're outdoing yourself by bringing this important but "taboo" issue to the forefront.
