(Reuters) - Twice Olympic gold medallist speedskater Catriona Le May Doan was named Canada’s chef de mission for the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said on Tuesday. A four-time Olympian, Le May Doan became the first Canadian to successfully defend an Olympic title when she skated to 500 metres gold at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games and again four years later at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. She also twice served as Canada’s flag bearer leading the team at the 2002 opening ceremony and 1998 closing ceremony.
