Sylvie Fréchette

Sylvie Fréchette, MSC (born 27 June 1967 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian former synchronised swimmer.

In the technical figures routine, a Brazilian judge accidentally entered a score of 8.7 instead of 9.7, costing her first place;[1] after several appeals by the Canadian Olympic Committee, her medal was upgraded to gold.

She has also contributed as a swimmer, designer, and coach to the synchronized-swimming portions of Cirque du Soleil's water-based stage production O, which opened in 1998 at the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

[5][6] She came in third and, after the election, ascribed her loss to party leader Andrew Scheer's inability to take a stance on abortions.

[7] Sylvie Frechette was engaged to her business partner Sylvain Lake, who committed suicide a week before the 1992 Games.
