Season One: Episode 8 | OLYMPIANS | Guest: Kaetlyn Osmond

In this  episode Darryl schools Kevin on Olympians.
We are joined by special guest, World Champion Figure Skater Kaetlyn Osmond

In 2018, Kaetlyn Osmond became Canada’s first women’s singles world figure skating champion in 45 years. That was just a month after she won two medals at PyeongChang 2018, capturing bronze in women’s singles and helping Canada win gold in the team event. Kaetlyn also won helped Canada to a silver medal in the team event  in Sochi 2014  

Osmond helped make Canadian history at the 2017 World Championships where she won the silver medal to share the podium with bronze medallist teammate Gabrielle Daleman. It was the first time two Canadian women had stood together on the world championship podium.

Earlier in the season, after winning silver at both her Grand Prix events, Osmond had become the first Canadian woman to qualify for the ISU Grand Prix Final since Joannie Rochette in 2009. 

Osmond had burst onto the national scene at the 2012 Canadian Championships where she won the short program en route to a bronze medal, just a year after placing sixth in the junior ranks. In her world championship debut in 2013, she placed a surprising fourth in the short program before ending up eighth overall.

She claimed her third national title in 2017. Osmond returned to the top of a Grand Prix podium at Skate Canada International in October 2017. She went on to win bronze at the Grand Prix Final in December, the first Canadian woman to win a medal at that event since Rochette in the 2004-05 season.   

Kaetlyn retired from competitive skating in 2019 and has toured with Stars on Ice. She is also busy coaching and studying Broadcast Journalism.  

Sit back and enjoy.
