05:43
the Canadian Olympic Committee's Chief Sport Officer,
05:45
to kick off this figure skating team announcement
05:47
for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
05:58
Wow, bonsoir tout le monde.
06:00
That's always one of the best parts of the job, honestly.
06:04
This is quite something.
06:06
It's really fun to welcome you to the official announcement
06:10
of the Milano Cortina 2026.
06:14
26 days before the opening ceremony,
06:18
only five days for the team behind the team.
06:20
So we have people from our team leaving upcoming Friday,
06:24
so they'll tell you how close it is.
06:28
Let's reflect a bit how important this moment is.
06:32
Such a special moment.
06:33
Being named on the team for the first time or for a few times,
06:38
it's always something so special.
06:40
You deserve it, but it's also a privilege.
06:45
It becomes larger than you.
06:47
Like, it's a good team.
06:48
It's quite something.
06:50
It's nation-building.
06:51
This is quite a moment.
06:52
La chance de partager ce moment avec vos proches aussi.
06:58
Just take a minute.
06:59
Look around.
07:00
Turn around.
07:00
Look at the room.
07:01
That's the moment of everyone.
07:07
And that's what we're going to have to go through.
07:10
This is fantastic with Cortina Milano.
07:13
Family and friends, they're back.
07:15
The one that were there in Beijing, get ready.
07:18
That's going to be like,
07:19
It's going to get you, honestly.
07:23
Like, I'm not an athlete.
07:25
I'm not anymore.
07:26
But in Paris, that's something that hit me, honestly.
07:30
Think of that.
07:31
Take time to think of this when you get there.
07:33
It's almost like, you know,
07:35
how we turn the page quickly on things.
07:36
And it was a tough ride in Beijing.
07:39
And so now to come back with having everyone around,
07:42
take a moment for that.
07:44
Get ready for that.
07:46
Comparing Milano and Paris.
07:49
Paris was fantastic.
07:51
I'm sure you were on the edge of your couch
07:53
or wherever you were watching the games.
07:55
It was so beautiful.
07:57
C'était poétique.
07:58
Les jeux de Paris étaient incroyables.
07:59
It's going to be the same in Cortina Milano.
08:01
It's so beautiful.
08:02
It's going to be incredible.
08:04
Plus, having the crowd back.
08:05
And these games, both games,
08:08
are the games of the future.
08:11
Paris was the first game of the new generation.
08:13
We saw it with the iconic venues and everything.
08:16
Cortina Milano was the same thing.
08:18
13 of the 14 venues are temporary venues.
08:21
It's more ecologique, écosystème.
08:24
Ça, c'est vraiment des pluss dans les jeux.
08:27
L'equity.
08:28
47 participants are women.
08:30
This is great, too.
08:31
You look at data and you go back in years of games.
08:34
This is great.
08:36
And all the sustainability.
08:39
And the new geographic.
08:40
That's a reality.
08:41
You guys will be in your bubble.
08:43
You'll be in Milan.
08:44
But the six cluster and everything to really have a team.
08:47
Canada.
08:47
So we prepared stuff behind the scene for you.
08:51
Let's go back to ice dancing now.
08:53
Just a few personal anecdotes.
08:57
Like, they put this.
08:58
They prepare a note and they're like, it goes a long way for me personally.
09:02
I was, in the 90s, one of the founders of Sport Rétudes au Québec.
09:06
I founded the Trois-Rivières.
09:09
There's even a ring out there.
09:11
I happened to be a school director.
09:13
I was in the hiring process of someone little known in your world, Manon Perron, Joanie Rochette,
09:19
Marianne Dubuc, and always so impressed.
09:22
2018.
09:24
2014, my first game.
09:26
C'était mon coup de cœur, le patinage artistique.
09:28
2018, between laugh and emotion, I laughed with Tess and Scott behind the scene, hiding
09:36
her boots in my jacket so she doesn't get blistered.
09:39
And by the time she walks with the flag, we put the right boots on.
09:43
And then, and seeing her practicing and Scott rolling his eyes, and practicing so much just
09:48
to wave the flag.
09:50
And then my special moment by myself with eyes full of water was Patrick Chang's last skate.
09:58
Skating.
10:00
Your sport is so beautiful.
10:02
And if I put one word to this for me, it's courage.
10:06
Me, it was such a learning over those years.
10:10
When you get on that ring, I was looking at this this afternoon.
10:12
You guys are so courageux, courageux.
10:16
It's, it's, it's amazing.
10:18
Today, each team member, you will receive the Team Canada jacket.
10:22
That's the moment.
10:23
You're already dressed with the pants.
10:25
It might be thick, but you're going to like them in the cold a little bit.
10:29
And I'm sure you have good, uh, pour les coups de souris, pour faire les barres.
10:32
That's a, that jacket you will get.
10:35
There's the Canada sign behind with all the lines representing the territory and the provinces
10:40
and making feeling that you've got the full country behind you.
10:45
That's truly symbolic but important.
10:47
And inside the jacket, also, you have a manifesto, just specially for you guys.
10:52
So, um, that's, uh, that's another great moment.
10:56
It's such an honour to be here with you, with this team that will create memories and emotion
11:03
for the games.
11:04
And you truly will.
11:05
And with that, I will introduce Debra Armstrong, the Chief Executive for Skate Canada.
11:24
Uh, thank you, Eric, very much.
11:26
Wow, what a pleasure to be here with you tonight.
11:28
Today is a proud moment for Skate Canada and for our athletes and for everyone who has
11:35
supported them on this journey.
11:37
Qualifying for an Olympic Winter Games begins long before a team is named.
11:42
Each of you, and I can look at all of our team in front of me now, you played a critical
11:46
role in earning Canada's 12 spots for Milano Cortina through your remarkable performances
11:52
on the world stage.
11:54
You carried the Maple Leaf with pride, consistency, and determination.
11:58
And you delivered when it mattered most.
12:08
Throughout the season, we saw you continue to push yourselves through setbacks, injuries,
12:15
and immense pressure.
12:18
That resilience was on full display this week at the 2026 Canadian National Skating Championships
12:24
When the stakes were the highest and the spotlight the brightest, you rose to the occasion and
12:31
showed that you are ready for the Olympic Games.
12:34
Congratulations to each of you.
12:49
We cannot wait to watch you represent Canada on the world's biggest stage.
12:53
So I'd now like to invite Skate Canada President Karen Butcher to say a few words.
13:03
Thank you, Deborah.
13:04
I'm incredibly happy to be here today to celebrate this huge milestone.
13:08
Being named to an Olympic team is one of the highest honours in sport.
13:12
It reflects trust in your preparation, your performances, and your ability to represent our country with integrity
13:19
and pride.
13:20
This selection recognizes not just what you've achieved, but who you are as athletes and as
13:26
ambassadors for Canadian skating.
13:28
I would also like to thank the coaches, choreographers, support staff, families, and friends who have
13:34
accompanied you throughout this journey.
13:36
No Olympic journey is taken alone, and you have all contributed to making this moment possible.
13:43
Les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver occupent une place très spéciale dans l'histoire de notre sport et notre pays.
13:49
As you know, figure skating is one of Canada's most successful Olympic sports at the Olympic Winter Games,
13:55
with a total of 29 Olympic medals, including six gold.
14:00
That remarkable legacy has been built by generations of athletes who have defined excellence
14:06
on the world stage.
14:07
As we look ahead to Molata Cortina 2026, I am thrilled to see this team carry that tradition forward.
14:15
We believe in your preparation and your ability to perform at the highest level of sport.
14:21
Nous avons très hâte de vous voir écrire le prochain chapitre de l'histoire du patonnage canadien.

21:15
Have courage to push yourself to meet new athletes, be inspired by them and hear their stories and share your stories.
21:22
And have courage to truly be yourself because that's the most important thing
21:29
and you will be open to so many incredible experiences by doing that.
21:32
So have so much fun.
21:33
We're so honored to be on this team with all of you and we love you.

So thanks everyone for coming and we'll see you in Milan.
22:13
All right.
22:15
Got potatoes.
22:16
It's yours.
