World sprint record holder Donovan Bailey was once asked who was the most impressive athlete he had ever met and his answer was Kate Pace-Lindsay, who also just happens to be the wife of Bailey's personal chiropractor/physiotherapst Mark Lindsay.
  Though she's been a slump of sorts over the last two seasons because of a number of minor injuries, the affable North Bay native is unquestionably one of the great women's speed racers in the world, as her two gold medals on the World Cup circuit and victory at the 1993 world championships show. Her leading run on the course in Morioko-Shizukuishi, Japan at the '93 worlds was accomplished despite having suffered a broken wrist shortly before. That's the kind of determination Pace-Lindsay is known for.
  Truly an ambassador for the sport of ski racing both abroad and at home, the proud graduate of the North Bay Ski Racers is hoping that her luck on the slopes of Japan continues at the Nagano Olympics continues this February.
