Olympic Champion to miss 2017 season… for good reason!

“Patrick and I want to have a baby and I want to go to Tokyo 2020. There, I said it. It’s in the universe and there’s no taking it back.”

Those were the words of Gwen Jorgensen after her Olympic Gold winning 2016 season – and good news for her and husband, Pat Lemieux, as she announced on Thursday that she was three months pregnant.

Best wishes to Gwen and Pat.
