They are the silver and bronze ladies at the world figure skating championships, a two-fer podium finish never before achieved by Canadian women. Gabrielle Daleman was an 8-year-old glued to the TV when Joannie Rochette placed fifth at the 2006 Olympics in Turin. Osmond and Daleman and Alain Chartrand, last year’s national champion, are very much part of a recalibrated-philosophy generation. Osmond and Medvedeva both opened with a triple flip-triple toe combination, base value 9.60, each earning a grade of execution of 1.40. I can do triple toe on everything but I’m the only person in the world who can get straight plus-3s on the triple-triple combination.’’Plus-3 is the highest GOE available.
