Canada’s Garabedian to represent Armenia in 2018 Winter Olympics

Canadian Armenian figure skater Tina Garabedian, 18, who has been skating with the Laval Figure Skating Club in the Canadian Province of Quebec, will represent Armenia in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, reported TheSuburban.com.

Garabedian, holding dual citizenship, realized she had a small chance of representing Canada’s national team in 2018, and therefore she decided to wear the colors of Armenia in Pyeongchang.

She changed partners six months ago and will ice dance with Simon Proulx-Senecal, who likewise is from the aforementioned club.

The duo recently took home a bronze medal at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships in New York.
