  Caroline Brunet named top athlete
Toronto -- In a year filled with breakthroughs and accomplishments by Canadian athletes, Caroline Brunet captured the Lou Marsh Award by doing the same old thing -- continuing her reign as the world's best female kayaker.
Brunet, 30, of Lac-Beauport, Que., was named Canada's top athlete of 1999 in a vote by a panel of sports editors and reporters on a committee headed by former Canadian Football League commissioner Jake Gaudaur.
Brunet was in Florida yesterday when the vote took place.

Brunet won an Olympic silver medal at the K1 sprint four years ago, but was not at all happy about it.
Brunet said it was "bizarre" that Idem Guerrini beat her in Sydney when she hadn't beaten Brunet in years.
Brunet is much more of an extrovert than she used to be, perhaps because she knows this will be her last time in the Olympic spotlight and is willing to enjoy it rather than avoid it.

 CTV.ca | Kayaker Brunet calls for government inquiry
16 2000 4:12 AM ET Canadian kayaker and silver medallist Caroline Brunet is calling for a government inquiry after reports the Italian kayaker who edged her out for gold at the Sydney Games tested positive for growth hormones months before the competition.
Even if Guerrini loses her medal, a Canadian doping expert warned that Brunet may not have grounds to get the gold medal because growth hormones, which the human body produces naturally, is difficult to test for.
Brunet said she was astonished when Guerrini, 36, beat her by half a length in the K-1 500 in wind-whipped waters.

 Kayak: Caroline Brunet
Unfortunately at the Olympics, Brunet won't likely win three gold medals because there are less events than at a world championships.
She is in contention for top honors at the Games in the kayak singles 500-metres and the kayak doubles 500 with partner Karen Furneaux of Waverley, N.S. One of the keys at last year's worlds in Milan was beating defending Olympic champion Rita Koban of Hungary in the K-1 500.
Competing in a low profile sport means Brunet, the 1999 Lou Marsh Trophy winner as Canada's outstanding athlete, is often scrambling for funds to maintain her full-time training regimen.
