I knew Kathleen Heddle, but not well. She & I were classmates in Vancouver between her 2 Olympics, and none of us in the classroom even knew she had won Olympic gold! She was very sweet & humble. Canada will miss her forevermore.💧
WOW!!! What an interview. Marnie and Kathleen were 2 of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced. However, this interview was much more than sports. For Marnie to show how important their relationship was both on the water and in their everyday life was truly amazing. Two incredible athletes, but more important, two incredible human beings. I'm 65 and I'm not ashamed to have cried during this interview. Kudos to Scott and is interviewing tactics. May Kathleen RIP.
I'm in Calgary, the home of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. She and Heddle should definitely be there. And I'm pretty sure Virtue/Moir are already there. Edit I stand corrected. McBean/Heddle were inducted into the Hall in 1997.
I'm here because Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have mentioned so often what an inspiration Marnie was. Now I realize from this interview that Marnie has been passing on the inspirational words of Kathleen too.
Who in the world would downvote this?! Thank you for such a touching interview, I remember watching Marnie and Kathleen win gold as a kid, and thought they were the coolest, strongest women I'd ever seen in the Olympics. It's amazing how much a person can touch others, not just in life but in their passing and their legacy.
I honestly think it's 2 things. Some people think when a video is sad or they are upset by something that happened (like the death of the rower) they think they are supposed to hit dislike. And then also I think some people hit it by accident. Lol
Very hard for sure. I knew Kathleen a very little bit, in 1993 & 94. She was a very nice young lady, not arrogant at all. Although I didn't know her very well, my eyes filled with tears 👁👁💧 when I heard the news of her passing earlier this year.😨😢
HELLO...WOW ...So nice to see your faces again....you both have a piece of my heart:) THANK YOU for taking care of yourself and my heart. SHE WILL BE MISSED FOREVER.
Even when I saw Marnie by herself on TV I’d always think of her as being part of a pair with Kathleen. Such remarkable athletes, we were so lucky to have had them represent our country.
I didn't know that Kathleen passed. That is such sad news. RIP. She seemed to be a quiet person, but I think there was such a strength about her. She will be missed.
Hey CBC, would it really be that hard to find someone competent that could fix the way you have your info pop up on the bottom of the tv screen? They way it is now it covers the bottom part where they give the athletes score so we can't see them.
The vulnerability Marnie shows in this interview is heartbreaking and real. So sorry for her loss.

McBean and Heddle. 2 of our greatest Canadians.

I downvote every time someone brings it up, thanks almost forgot too
Marnie, you're so amazing. This must have been so hard for you. Loved watching you and Kathleen all of those years. Too sad :(

An honour to have been able to witness such an amazing team and such a beautiful friendship
HELLO...WOW ...So nice to see your faces again....you both have a piece of my heart:) THANK YOU for taking care of yourself and my heart. SHE WILL BE MISSED FOREVER.
What greater words can be said about someone than that "she made me a better person!"
I remember watching this as a kid and being thoroughly impressed
She competed at a time when Canada had a decent rowing team with McBean/Heddle and, of course, the great Silken Laumann.
Touching interview. You could sense how close Marnie and Kathleen were, and their inspiring story to this generation of athletes.
Even when I saw Marnie by herself on TV I’d always think of her as being part of a pair with Kathleen. Such remarkable athletes, we were so lucky to have had them represent our country.
Still using Pert Plus, Marnie? Great to see you supporting our athletes in Tokyo. All the best, and thanks for the memories.
I’m 35 years old and I remember watching them row together and that was ultimately made me love rowing
One cannot deny the strong spiritual relationship that develops when someone dies. Marnie shared that with us today. Sorry to hear about Kathleen.
I didn't know that Kathleen passed. That is such sad news. RIP. She seemed to be a quiet person, but I think there was such a strength about her. She will be missed.
We love you and will always cherish our memories of Kathleen. Best wishes.
Kathleen was awesome.

There's a canadian rower who looks like Marnie. she's like her twin.
❤️🇨🇦
So sad.
