Chloé Isaac, from Brossard, Canada will be
participating in the duet synchronised swimming event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. In an exclusive interview with TheSportsCampus in the run-up to the games, Chloé shares her successes, her love for her art and how excited she is about making the trip over to India for the Games.
Usually Chloe participates in the duet, team and combo events, however, Delhi 2010 has just two events - Solo and Duet - and hence Chloe will be participating in just the duet event this time around. As a result, Chloe says her preparation is "more specific than usual."
The 19-year old star was introduced to the sport of Synchronized Swimming at the age of 8 and spends 6 hours a day in training. Chloe is a multiple time Canadian National Champion across various disciplines, and also won a bronze medal at the 2009 FINA World Aquatic Championships. She has had a very busy run-up to the Games participating in the Japan Open, Spain Open and the Junior World Championships, where she continued to do Canada proud.
Valerie Lefebvre hails from Quebec, Canada and won Gold in the 58-63kg Weightlifting event at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune in Oct, 2008. She spent some time with TheSportsCampus.com team in Pune after her medal winning performance to throw some light on what got her into the sport, her preparation and other fun stuff that you'd expect from a teenager!
The 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune has nine sporting categories including athletics, badminton, boxing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, tennis, weightlifting and wrestling. Regretably both from a viewer and competitor perspective there are no team events at all in the line-up.
