With a total of five Olympic medals to their name, they also leave these games the most decorated figure skaters ever.
Justine Dufour-Lapointe
Age: 23
Hometown: Montreal, Quebec
Sport: Freestyle skiing – moguls

Hometown: Sherbrooke, Quebec
Sport: Short track speed skating

Alex Gough
Age: 30
Hometown: Calgary, Alberta
Sport: Luge
Medal: Bronze, silver
Gough, a Canadian luge veteran, made history at these Olympics: her bronze medal win in the women's individual event was the first-ever Olympic medal a Canadian has ever won in the sport. She built on that success, helping the luge relay team win silver at their race.
Gabrielle Daleman
Age: 20
Hometown: Newmarket, Ontario
Sport: Figure skating
Medal: Gold
Although Gabrielle Daleman had a disappointing skate during the women's individual event, she started off the PyeongChang Olympics with a gold-medal win in the team figure skating event. In fact, Daleman guaranteed the team gold with her free skate at the competition.
Kaitlyn Lawes
Age: 29
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Sport: Curling
Medal: Gold
Along with partner John Morris, Kaitlyn Lawes won gold in the inaugural mixed-doubles curling tournament at the winter games. Lawes, who was part of Canada’s gold-medal winning women’s team in Sochi, only practiced with Morris once before even qualifying for the Olympics.
Cassie Sharpe
Age: 25
Hometown: Comox, B.C.

Kaillie Humphries and Phylicia George
Age: 32 and 30
Hometowns: Calgary, Alberta and Markham, Ontario
Sport: Bobsleigh
Medal: Bronze
Bobsledders Kallie Humphries and Phylicia George are a history-making duo. The pair's bronze medal win is Humphries third straight Olympic medal (she won gold in Vancouver and Sochi) and George's first. Unlike veteran Humphries, however, George is quite new to the sport; after competing for Team Canada in London and Rio, she became the first black Canadian woman to compete in both the summer and winter games.
Meagan Duhamel
Age: 32
Hometown: Lively, Ontario
Sport: Pairs figure skating
Medal: Gold and bronze
Meagan Duhamel and pairs figure skating partner Eric Radford were key members of Canada’s gold-medal winning group at the team event.

Mission accomplished: they skated to a season’s best score to land a bronze medal that is all their own.

Hometowns: Kelowna, B.C. and Mont-Tremblant, Quebec
Sport: Ski cross

Laurie Blouin
Age: 21
Hometown: Stoneham, Quebec
Sport: Snowboard – slopestyle
Medal: Silver
First-time Olympian Laurie Blouin wasn't even sure if she'd be able to compete in the finals at her event—just days before at practice, she took a hard fall and had to be checked out at a hospital. A gash on her cheek didn't stop Blouin, though. She won silver at the women's slopestyle finals, Canada's first-ever Olympic medal in a women's snowboarding event other than snowboard cross.
