Interesting Fact: Was named the 2012 Speed Skating Canada Female Athlete of the Year for short track.

Chances: Having already won four medals on the world stage in the 3000-metre relay event, Maltais’ biggest opportunity to reach the podium will be during that event. Individually, she has come on strong recently and could be a possible dark horse victor.
