She began her career competing in short track speed skating while a youth in the Gloucester Concordes skating club. She competed there with fellow Olympian Vincent De Haître to whom she says she feels like an older sister towards.
After Blondin failed to qualify in short track for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver she nearly quit the sport. Mike Rivet, her coach in Gloucester, convinced her to switch to long track, a decision which she says “I was ready to quit skating because I was just so discouraged and disappointed with it. I think (the switch) was the best decision I could have ever made.” As a result, Blondin represented Canada in both the long-distance events at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi as well as the team pursuit event.
