I’m Perdita Felicien…

World Champion. Olympian. Author. TV Host. Speaker.

I’m mostly known for racing all around the world over hurdles and being considered one of the best to ever do it. My career lasted more than a decade and nowadays I host a Television series called “All Round Champion”, cover Olympic sports and most recently wrote a memoir, about my mother and I.

But most days you can find me at home in Toronto with my husband and our baby girl, where I experiment often with new cooking recipes and shamelessly binge watch Youtube drama channels and 90 Day Fiancé.
