Legendary pairs figure skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek and her partner Maxime Deschamps seek a fourth straight title this week at the 2026 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, set for 9–11 January at the Slush Puppie Centre in Gatineau, Quebec.
At 42, Stellato-Dudek’s career has captivated the sporting world. She won the first world title of her career two seasons ago at the 2024 World Championships on home ice in Montreal.
Now, with the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 less than a month away, she’ll look to add more national hardware to her résumé before heading off to what will be her first Olympic appearance.
Stellato is the focus of a new Olympic Channel Originals documentary, Deanna’s Dream, which debuted Wednesday (7 January).
