Congratulations, Stephen! ❄️🔥⛸️
The Granite Club is incredibly proud to celebrate Member Stephen Gogolev following his outstanding Olympic debut at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Stephen delivered a phenomenal performance, finishing fifth in Men’s Singles and earning the second‑best free skate of the night. Stephen’s journey — from overcoming injuries to rising as Canada’s national champion — makes this achievement even more inspiring. His poise, determination, and exceptional artistry are a testament to his hard work, along with expert guidance from skating hall of famer and Granite Club Coach Lee Barkell and choreographer Benoît Richaud.
Please join us in congratulating Stephen and proud Coach Barkell on this remarkable accomplishment!
