Meet Jane Channell: 2022 Olympian - Skeleton, Team Canada!

Jane Channell is a Skeleton Athlete representing Team Canada as the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics! This two time Winter Olympian was born and raised in North Vancouver, British Columbia and grew up a multisport athlete playing basketball, soccer, and softball and running on the track team.

Jane was inspired to try skeleton by Jon Montgomery's gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. She has competed since 2011 and was selected to the national team in 2013, joining the Skeleton World Cup squad in 2015!

I had the amazing opportunity to meet Jane on Zoom this past summer and loved learning about her strategies for focusing at 88 MPH (the speed at which she's sliding head first down the skeleton track!).

I can't wait to cheer Jane on and celebrate her amazing journey in the sport of Skeleton! Plus, not only can you catch Jane on your TV during the Olympics...you can also see Jane on the Fruit By The Foot and Lara Bar boxes in Canada!! Congrats Jane!!! Now I have a very good excuse to get myself to Canada to get those boxes! :D

Fast Facts about Jane!

- In her fifth year of University, Jane became a multisport varsity athlete playing on the softball team, graduating in the spring of 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Geography

- The same winter that Jane graduated from college, she moved to Whistler on a whim to fully immerse myself in the sport of skeleton, working full time and training full time for two winters where she worked on her sliding skills

- Jane made the Canadian National Development Team in her second year and then made the move out to Calgary for her third year to be with the rest of the team
