“I lead an active lifestyle, so I need a lens that is comfortable throughout the day,” said Boutin. “MyDay® allows me to go full-speed while skating, without the fear of my lenses drying out in cold weather conditions.”

“CooperVision is focused on helping people to see better each day. We’re proud to help Kim to accomplish that on and off the track,” said Enrique Contreras, Country Manager, CooperVision, Canada.

Boutin is the first Canadian female short track speed skater to have been awarded three individual medals in the world’s most visible athletic competition.
