Marlene is recognized as one of the most artistic gymnasts in the history of
canadian gymnastics.
Marleen was a carded athlete from 1993-1996 and National Team member from
1992-1996. She was particularly dominant in Compulsory
Exercises. She also pioneered work on the Eagle Grip Front Giant on Uneven Bars,
a long time ahead of any other canadian gymnast (1991). She retired from competitive gymnastics in early 1997,
having placed 6th at the Canadian Olympic Trials the year prior.
She is now the
proud mother of a son, and works in Montreal in the highly
competitive financial world, to which she brings her attitude of attention to detail and incomparable determination.
