Kaetlyn Osmond (born December 5, 1995) is a Canadian figure skater. She is the 2018 Olympic bronze medalist in ladies' singles, the 2017 World silver medalist, the 2017 Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, a two-time Skate Canada International champion (2012, 2017), a two-time Nebelhorn Trophy champion, and a three-time Canadian national champion (2013, 2014, 2017). As a member of the Canadian figure skating team, she won an Olympic gold medal in the team event at the 2018 Winter Olympics, and a silver medal in the same event four years earlier.

Personal life

Osmond was born in Marystown, Newfoundland to Jeff and Jackie Osmond. At age seven, she moved to Montreal; Quebec, at age ten, she moved to Sherwood Park, Alberta where she currently lives. Osmond attended Vimy Ridge Academy. She has two older siblings, Natasha and Gary. In April 2014, Marystown renamed their home rink to Kaetlyn Osmond Arena, and presented her with a symbolic key to the town. They also named a street after her.

Career

Osmond began skating at age three, following her elder sister Natasha. Due to a lack of ice during the summer in Marystown, they often travelled to Montreal to train. Since the age of ten, Osmond trains at the Ice Palace Figure Skating Club in Edmonton, coached by Ravi Walia with choreography by Lance Vipond.

2011–12 season

Osmond at the 2012 World Junior Championships

In the 2011–12 season, Osmond competed on the senior level for the first time at the Canadian Championships. She was first after the short program, ahead of the defending champion Cynthia Phaneuf, and the 2011 bronze medalist Amelie Lacoste. Osmond won the bronze medal overall. At the 2012 World Junior Championships, Osmond won the preliminary round. She finished 10th overall.

2012–13 season: First international and national titles

In the 2012–13 season, Osmond won her first international title at 2012 Nebelhorn Trophy. She then made her senior Grand Prix debut at the 2012 Skate Canada. She was second in both the short and free program, but it was enough to win the competition. Osmond went on to win her first senior national title at the 2013 Canadian Championships. It was the first time in ten years that a ladies' single skater from outside Quebec won the Canadian title. At the 2013 Four Continents, Osmond finished 7th. She placed 8th at the 2013 World Championships.

2013–14 season: Second national title and Olympic medal

Osmond trained in southern California for about two weeks in August 2013 under the guidance of Walia and Frank Carroll. Due to a stress reaction in her left ankle, she was off the ice for most of September 2013. In late October, she competed at the 2013 Skate Canada International, placing fifth in the short program, but pulled out before the free skate due to a torn hamstring in her right leg. She also withdrew from the 2013 Rostelecom Cup but returned to competition at the 2014 Skate Canada Challenge. At the 2014 Canadian Championships, she placed first in both segments and repeated as national champion. In February 2014, Osmond represented Canada at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. After skating in both segments of the team event and contributing to Canada's silver medal, she then competed in the individual ladies' singles event and finished 13th. In March, she placed 11th at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan.

2014–15 season

For the 2014–15 season, Osmond was assigned to compete at 2014 Skate Canada International and 2014 Trophée Éric Bompard. However, she had to withdraw from both competitions due to a broken leg, an injury she sustained on September 11, 2014. This injury caused Osmond to sit out the rest of that season.

2015–16 season

Osmond began the 2015–16 season with gold at the 2015 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, an ISU Challenger Series event. Turning to the Grand Prix series, she placed 11th at the 2015 Skate Canada International and 6th at the 2015 NHK Trophy. Although first after the short program at the 2016 Canadian Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Osmond placed third overall after finishing 4.12 points behind Alaine Chartrand and 0.12 behind Gabrielle Daleman.

2016–17 season: Third national title and world silver medal

At the start of October, Osmond won the 2016 CS Finlandia Trophy, ahead of Mao Asada and Anna Pogorilaya. Later that month, she received the silver medal, behind Evgenia Medvedeva, at the 2016 Skate Canada International. In November, she took silver behind Elena Radionova at the 2016 Cup of China, after placing first in the short and third in the free. Her results qualified her for the Grand Prix Final in Marseille, France, making her the first Canadian woman to qualify to the Grand Prix Final since Joannie Rochette did so in the 2009-2010 season.

In March 2017, Osmond was awarded the silver medal at the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland, having ranked second in both segments. It was the highest result at the event by a Canadian ladies' singles skater since 2009, when Rochette also won silver.

This was the first time Osmond participated in all the major competitions of the season: the Grand Prix series up to the final, the Canadian National, the Four Continent Championships, and the World Championships. She did not participate in the World Team Trophy at the end of the season.

2017–18 season: Two Olympic medals

Osmond set a new personal best in the free skate at the 2017 CS Autumn Classic International in Montreal. At the 2018 national championships she placed second, again behind Daleman. She qualified again for the Grand Prix Final, this time in Nagoya, Japan, where she earned the bronze medal, behind Alina Zagitova and Maria Sotskova.

As a member of Canada's figure skating team at the 2018 Winter Olympics, she placed third in the short program portion of the team event, where the Canadians ultimately won the gold medal. In the individual event, Osmond set new personal bests in the short program and free skate, and won the bronze medal behind Zagitova and Medvedeva. Osmond's was the twenty-seventh medal won by Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics, setting a new national record and surpassing the total earned in the Vancouver Olympics eight years prior.
