Bergeron created this sculpture in honour of Canadian speed skater Gaetan Boucher, who participated in four Olympic Games and won four medals over two games: two gold, one silver, and one bronze. Le Patineur de Vitesse ‘84 reflects the high level of performance and achievement that the Olympic Oval fosters. This piece, as are most of Bergeron’s sculptural works, is made from recycled metal.
