Gabby Daleman: Bumpy Times

January 11, 2020 By Beverley 2 Comments

  For two years, Gabby Daleman has been treading the quaking edge of a bog, trying to find her way out of it, sliding back in. Two steps forward, three steps back. Or is it three steps backward and one step forward, fortified by spirit alone? Always, no matter what happens, Daleman has no intention […]

Karen Magnussen passes the torch

March 24, 2018 By Beverley 2 Comments

Karen Magnussen feels like she knows Kaetlyn Osmond. Now they are members of the same club: Canadian women who have won world figure skating championships. There aren’t many of them, mind: Barbara Ann Scott (1947 and 1948), Petra Burka (1965) and Magnussen herself, in 1973. Yes, it’s been 45 years since Magnussen won that last […]

Kaetlyn Osmond and the Dark Side of a Swan.

February 22, 2018 By Beverley Leave a Comment

No, Kaetlyn Osmond does not have an evil twin. But she can pretend. And when she does, as she does in her free program to the movie “Black Swan,” this season, she is convincing and powerful, a potent force on the ice. It does no good to watch her do this routine on Youtube. (But […]

Osmond turns back to Piaf

September 14, 2017 By 3 Comments

For Kaetlyn Osmond in this very important Olympic year, what is old is new again. Starting next week at Autumn Classic, the world silver medalist will be going back to her masterful Edith Piaf short program of last season, leaving behind the exquisite “Summertime” on which she has toiled all summer. It’s hardly a panic […]

Kaetlyn Osmond: the empty space has been filled

May 8, 2017 By 7 Comments

Just as Kaetlyn Osmond was about to make her way to the world figure skating championships in Helsinki – only her third – the value of silver, down in the doldrums on world markets, began to pick up. The ticker tapes of the world began to spin in the right direction. It’s good news for […]

The Osmond-Walia Accord

January 11, 2017 By 2 Comments

What a duo they are, Kaetlyn Osmond and her bright eyes, and the willowy, calm form of her coach Ravi Walia at rinkside. They have grown simultaneously together in a difficult sport and are marching steadily (thundering actually) toward world attention. Never more so than this year, when Osmond has been busy defeating world champions […]

January 11, 2016 By 2 Comments

Kaetlyn Osmond is still only 20 years old, but she’s been through an encyclopedia of stops and starts, of unfortunate incidents and more injuries in her career than she would care to remember. Halifax is her next stop next week. There she will contest the Canadian championships after giving it a miss last year with […]

Osmond fractures leg

September 15, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Asked at the national training camp a little more than a week ago what she wanted for herself for this season, Kaetlyn Osmond replied: “It’s to stay away from injuries.” She should have knocked on wood. The two-time Canadian champion fractured the fibula in her right leg during practice last Thursday in Edmonton. It was […]
