Although Cindy Klassen won five Olympic medals, only one was gold, which is the only one that counts. A Silver or bronze medal means you lost. The Lou Marsh has to go to Steve Nash because of the incredible feat of winning the NBA MVP for two consecutive years. Nothing else this year approaches that.

Come on guys! No question -- only one choice -- Cindy Klassen. She's a World Champion who competed against the class of the world while holding down a day job, she did it for the love of her sport -- alone in her pursuit for excellence. The other contenders, while tops in their profession, are multi-millionaires and valuable only in their own leagues, not the world, who excel only with the comfort of team members.

I wouldn't give it to Klassen ... she's in a sport that VERY few people participate in. The pool of athletes is tiny compared to the pool of athletes in other sports, particularly basketball. Steve Nash deserves it because the competition is tougher in his sport.
