Canada Shines in 2026 Olympic Figure Skating: Scores, Winners, and Highlights
After a disappointing performance in Beijing, Canada’s figure skating team aims to reclaim its glory at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. The nation has a rich history in the sport, highlighted by legendary skaters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. Together, they have amassed five Olympic medals—three gold and two silver—an achievement that puts them among the most decorated athletes in Olympic history.
Despite the legacy left by Virtue and Moir, the Canadian team faced challenges in the 2022 Games, marking the first time since 1980 that no skater secured a podium finish. This year, the team is buoyed by a new generation of talent, including Madeline Schizas, Stephen Gogolev, Piper Gilles, and Paul Poirier. They lead a robust squad of twelve skaters ready to compete against strong challengers like Team USA and Team Japan.
