Gabrielle Daleman (born January 13, 1998) is a Canadian figure skater. She is a 2018 Olympic gold medalist in the team event, the 2017 World bronze medalist, 2017 Four Continents silver medalist, 2014 CS Autumn Classic champion, and three-time Canadian national champion. She represented Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Personal life

Gabrielle Daleman was born January 13, 1998 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada,[7] to Rhonda and Michael Daleman. She has a younger brother, Zack, who is also a competitive figure skater.[8] She lives in Newmarket, Ontario and attended Pickering College.[8][9] Her father has taught at the same school.[10]

Daleman has a learning disability affecting her ability to read and write.[11] She has also spoken about an eating disorder which she had from Grade 5 or 6 until after the 2014 Winter Olympics.[12][10]

Career

Early years

Daleman began skating at age four.[13] Her motivation grew after watching Joannie Rochette compete at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[13]

Daleman won the junior ladies' title at the 2012 Canadian Championships.

2012–2013 season

Daleman debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in autumn 2012. At the 2013 Canadian Championships, she won the silver medal behind Kaetlyn Osmond. She was sent to the 2013 World Junior Championships and finished sixth.

2013–2014 season

Daleman continued on the JGP series, winning the bronze medal at her event in Poland. In January 2014, after repeating as national silver medalist at the Canadian Championships, she was named in Canada's team to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi in February. At 16 years of age, she was the youngest athlete on the Canadian Olympic team.[9] Daleman was not assigned to the team event, in which Canada won the silver medal, but she did compete in the individual event and finished in 17th place.[14]

Around February 2014, she developed a stress reaction (a precursor to a stress fracture) and plantar fasciitis in her right foot.[15][16]

2014–2015 season

Daleman began her season with a win at the 2014 Skate Canada Autumn Classic, an ISU Challenger Series event. Making her senior Grand Prix debut, she placed fifth at the 2014 Cup of China and sixth at the 2014 NHK Trophy. Competing with a strep throat at the 2015 Canadian Championships,[17] she placed first in the short program and second in the free skate. Daleman won the national title by a margin of 1.78 points over Alaine Chartrand. She finished seventh at the 2015 Four Continents Championships, 21st at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, and 8th at the 2015 World Team Trophy.

In the spring of 2015, Daleman parted ways with her longtime coaches – Andrei Berezintsev and Inga Zusev – and moved from Richmond Hill, Ontario to Toronto to train at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club under Lee Barkell (as her main coach), Brian Orser, and Tracy Wilson.[18]

2015–2016 season

Daleman started the 2015–2016 season on the Challenger Series (CS), finishing 4th at the 2015 Ondrej Nepela Trophy.[19] Competing on the Grand Prix series, she placed 5th at the 2015 Skate Canada International and 6th at the 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard. She won the silver medal at the 2016 Canadian Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia, finishing behind Alaine Chartrand and ahead of Kaetlyn Osmond. Soon after the event, she experienced severe swelling due to arthritis and tendinitis in her right foot.[16] On her treatment, she said, "I was probably in physio six, seven days a week for about three hours doing exercises, heating, icing, everything I could. I hate needles but I was doing acupuncture to get the swelling out."[16]

Daleman decided to withdraw from the 2016 Four Continents Championships as a precaution.[20] In March, she competed at the 2016 World Championships in Boston. She received personal best scores in the short, free, and total scores, landing her in the top ten for the first time. In the 2015–16 season, Daleman adjusted several aspects of her training and preparation – to practice elements with the same entry and exit as in her programs, improve the precision and timing of her in-between movements, and work more regularly with a mental performance consultant for athletes.[21]

2016–2017 season

Daleman took the bronze medal at the 2016 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, behind Mai Mihara and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, before appearing in her third Grand Prix series. She finished fourth, 2.65 points off the podium, at the 2016 Skate America in Chicago, having ranked fourth in both segments. At her next GP event, the 2016 Trophée de France in Paris, she placed second in the short program, sixth in the free skate, and fourth overall.

In January 2017, Daleman won the silver medal at the 2017 Canadian Championships, finishing second to Kaetlyn Osmond with a deficit of 8.57 points.

In February, she ranked first in the short and third in the free skate at the 2017 Four Continents Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. Finishing 3.94 points behind Japan's Mai Mihara, she won the silver medal, becoming the first Canadian ladies' single skater to land on the podium at Four Continents since 2009, when Joannie Rochette also obtained silver.

In March, Daleman won the bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. The same month, she was found to have two abdominal cysts, one of which ruptured.[22] She was treated before Worlds but later had more problems and underwent surgery on May 20, 2017.[22][23][10]

2017–2018 season

In early November, Daleman finished 6th at the 2017 Cup of China after winning the short program and placing 7th in the free skate. She competed with a kidney infection in China and a viral infection at the 2017 Skate America later the same month.[11] She had the same final placement at the 2017 Skate America after placing 3rd in the short and 8th in the free.

Competing with pneumonia, Daleman placed first at the 2018 Canadian Championships in January.[24] She competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics, where she helped Canada win the gold medal in the team event. In the individual event, Daleman placed seventh in the short program. Daleman's free skate proved difficult, characterized by The Toronto Star as "a shambles" that featured "three falls, two over-rotations, a doubled-down triple" and "an agonizingly slow camel spin." She placed nineteenth in the free skate, dropping to fifteenth place overall.[25]

Daleman finished her season at the World Championships in Milan. She placed sixth in the short program, which she viewed as a redemptive skate following her trouble in Pyeongchang. However, she then injured her ankle on the morning of the free skate, where she struggled and placed eighth, leading to a seventh place finish in the event.[26]

2018–2019 season

For the 2018-19 Grand Prix series Daleman was assigned to the 2018 Skate Canada International and 2018 NHK Trophy. She began her season with a sixth-place finish at the 2018 CS U.S. International Classic. On October 12, 2018, Skate Canada announced that Daleman had withdrawn from the 2018 Skate Canada International and taken a break from training to focus on her mental health.[27]
