World champion visits Hensall
By Nina Van
Lieshout
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
HENSALL —
Canadian born world
champion figure
skater Elizabeth
Manley brought a
strong message to
fans at the Hensall
Arena Saturday.
A message of sur-
vival, personal growth
and coming out on
top.
"I am a perfect
example of `dreams
can come true,— says
Manley, who compet-
ed in six World
Championships, earn-
ing the silver medal in
Budapest, Hungary in
1988.
Some of Manley's
many accomplish-
ments include: earn-
ing over 50 National
and International
medals, competing in
six World
Championships, two
Olympic Games, win-
ning silver in 1988 in
Calgary, Alta., along
with earning Athlete
of the Year for
Canada in 1988.
Manley stared in Ice
Capades for five
years, World Cup
Champions on Ice for
three years and also
toured with the
Champions on Ice
Tour in the United
States and the Skate
the Nation Tour. She
has earned the title of
World Cup Champion
four times and U.S.
Open Champion twice.
Manley's most pres-
tigious honour was
receiving "The Royal
Order of Canada."
Manley's off -ice
accomplishments are
also impressive, hav-
ing three television
specials, releasing two
autobiographies
"Thumbs Up — The
Manley Story" and
"Elizabeth Manley —
As I Am" and having
porcelain and vinyl
dolls made after her.
Throughout her
professional career,
Manley has also
offered her support to
several organizations
and has been a moti-
vational speaker for
major companies
close to her heart.
Manley was the
National
Spokesperson for the
Canadian Mental
Health Association
after going through
her own depression.
Recently, Manley also
completed a National
Media Tour for Wyeth
across Canada, help-
ing bring awareness
to depression.
Manley says going
through her own bout
of depression was
"the best thing that
ever happened to
me," adding, "It
allowed me to step
back and take a look
at the bigger picture,
and just breathe."
Manley says her
depression was a
blessing in disguise,
making her take a
look at how she was
living.
"I realized I could-
n't make everybody
happy. It was impossi-
ble. I'd get so busy
and I'd forget to take
time out for me."
Manley says she
has gone through a
"struggle of survival,"
and is now enjoying
passing her experi-
ence on to others,
both on -ice and off-
ice.
"I want to be here
for the kids to look up
to," says Manley,
explaining she is
encouraging them to
"speak up" about
things happening in
their lives.
Recently, Manley
moved to Ottawa from
the United States, so
she could be close to
her mother and
father, who are both
battling illnesses.
Manley is also get-
ting involved with the
Alzheimer Society, as
this is also close to
her heart with her
father being diag-
nosed with the dis-
ease.
Manley hopes to
soon begin speaking
on behalf of the
Alzheimers Society.
Since moving to
Ottawa, Manley has
continued coaching,
something she began
in 1999. Manley says
she's happy to be
back in Canada
"among all of the
Canadian kids."
And one thing
Manley says she'll
always be is humble,
explaining she's just
like everyone else —
achievements or not.
"Never change. The
day I start to change
is the day I stop doing
what I'm doing," says
Manley.
