Sanda Langer

Mom

My mom is my inspiration for speed skating. She’s always there for me when I have to talk to her and when I need extra motivation. She’s there when I am going through up’s and down’s and she’s the reason I am able to live my dream. Without her I would not be in Calgary training.

Sanda was born in Romania and started skiing at a very young age. While pursuing that, she also enrolled in speed skating, with her sister. She became very good at it, and in 1986, at age 16 she won the overall Romanian National Champion title. More competitions were to come but with her parents being University teachers, didn’t allow her to continue with the sport since education was more important to them.

Sanda presently continues her involvement in speed skating as a part time coach, and my personal “down-to-Earth” bringer and supporter. Sanda is a successful personal trainer in the Toronto/Pickering area, and with an 18 year experience in translations she is definitely the most well-rounded successful and talented person I know.
