Summary Profile

Named Canada's female athlete of the century, Nancy Greene Raine has chartered a legendary course on and off the ski slopes.

As the 1968 Olympics approached, Greene Raine was a favourite to win in three ski events, but an injury just a month before the Games put her chances in jeopardy. She placed tenth in her opening race, but attacked the giant slalom with everything she had, and crossed the line with the gold medal.

Her victory, by an incredible 2.68 seconds is still considered one of the most decisive wins in modern Olympic history.

Greene Raine has made skiing her life's work. With her husband Al, she coached young skiers in Whistler and helped build the resort into a major international ski destination. Today, Greene Raine is working on the development of a new tourism destination in BC, where she runs her own hotel with her husband.  As of 2009, Greene Raine was named a senator by Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper. She was most recently honoured when she was one of five Canadian heroes chosen to light the Olympic cauldron during the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Games.
