Jaimee Eggleton

Jaimee Eggleton (born June 26, 1964 in Montreal) is a Canadian figure skater and 1984 Olympian.

Career

In 1984, he won the Canadian Figure Skating Championships on the Junior level. Skate Canada officials had decided to send the Junior national champion to the 1984 Winter Olympics as a learning experience, and so Eggleton, at age 19, was sent to the Olympics as his first major international event, preempting veteran competitor Gordon Forbes, that year's bronze medalist. Eggleton later stated that the Junior national champion that year was "meant to be" World Junior Champion and rising star Marc Ferland, who Eggleton had beaten out for the Junior title, and it was for Ferland that the experience rule was put into place. Eggleton placed 20th out of 23 competitors at the Olympics.

Later, Eggleton won the bronze medal at the 1986 Canadian Championships.
