Hughes, incidentally, has won medals in both winter and summer Olympics. She was originally a speed skater, switched to cycling, won two Olympic medals in Atlanta, competed at Sydney, then switched back to speed skating, winning four medals in long-track speed skating over the last three winter Olympics.
