Biography

Chantal was born May 28 and grew up in Champaign, IL. Which is the same home town of her 1994 Olympic teammate Bonnie Blair, who wrote in Chantal's freshman yearbook, "I really think you should be a speed skater".[2] As a child and a teenager Chantal was a figure skater before turning over to speedskating.[2] At the age of 14 she was diagnosed as bulimic.[2] After graduation from Centennial High School in Champaign, she moved to the Boulder, CO area to get a degree in sports medicine technology. While waiting tables she wanted to exercise, so she purchased a $6 pair of speedskates from a Boulder, CO garage sale[3] and begun speedskating. In 1990 she made the US National Speedskating Team and four years later made the US Olympic Team.[3]

gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.

gollark: If your study produces no result you just won't publish it, which leads to some bias.
