Once famous for falling on her own knees, Canadian hurdler Perdita Felicien will argue on behalf of Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald when she joins the panel for the latest edition of Canada Reads on CBC-Radio. The program features well-known Canadians who choose a work of fiction to promote. Books are voted off one by one until a winner is chosen.
Felicien crashed out of the 2004 Olympics final in spectacular style, but has picked herself up to take silver at the 2007 World Championships. In October, the sprinter completed a 3K at a Nike event and joked in her blog afterward: “Admittedly I wasn’t going Tirunesh Dibaba or Meseret Defar pace, more like Oprah’s marathon pace. Yes I know… but it still hurt. Many predicated a time of 15 minutes, ‘at most 20′ for myself. Thanks people, because I crawled home in a record setting (not the celebrated kind) of ’27-something’ minutes.”
