Rosannagh MacLennan

"I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid but the one who conquers that fear" - Nelson Mandela

Why I Chose Her: I chose Rosannagh MacLennan because she changed Canadian history by winning the first gold medal in tramp and tumble. She is a very kind girl and it would be cool to know more about her and her family. She is very confident and I really like that about her. She practiced and practiced. She never quit even after the hardest times. She was brave and positive and I think that is a part why she won, she believed in herself. And she's also really pretty!
