Kerrin Anne Lee-Gartner is a former World Cup alpine ski racer and Olympic gold medalist from Canada. Born in Trail, British Columbia, she grew up in Rossland and raced as a youngster at Red Mountain. Lee-Gartner started skiing for the Canadian Women's Ski Team in 1982, but suffered a number of knee operations over the years including two complete reconstructions. She attained her first World Cup podium early in December 1990, then had five more top-six finishes early in the 1992 season entering the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. On the challenging Roc de Fer course at M�ribel, Lee-Gartner won the gold medal in the Olympic downhill. Only 0.06 seconds behind was silver medalist Hilary Lindh of the U.S., for a North American 1?2 finish. Through 2014, it remains the only victory in an Olympic downhill by a Canadian. She finished sixth in the Olympic super-G and had two more podiums after the Olympics, both in North America, to finish up the 1992 season. Lee-Gartner's next season in 1993 was her best on the World Cup circuit, with two podiums and twelve top tens. She finished third in the downhill standings and ninth overall. [More at Wikipedia]
