Jeffrey Buttle

Jeffrey Buttle ( born September 1, 1982 in Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario ) is a former Canadian figure skater, who started in a single run. He is the 2008 World Champion and Four Continents Champion of 2002 and 2004.

Jeffrey Buttle began at the age of two years with the figure skating and took from the age of six years at competitions. With his older sister Meghan, he also took part in Eistanzwettbewerben. During his career as a professional he lived in Barrie, Ontario and trained at the Mariposa School of Skating. Although he is not French-Canadian, Buttle attended the École Don Bosco, a French-speaking primary school and thus also learned the French language. Before devoting himself entirely to figure skating, he studied the hour chemistry at the University of Toronto.

After Buttle won the 2002 and 2004 Four Continents Championships, in 2005 he was vice-champion behind Stéphane Lambiel. In his first and only Olympic Games he won the bronze medal in Turin in 2006 behind Yevgeny Plyushchenko and Stéphane Lambiel. Two years later, the three-time Canadian champion was in Gothenburg with a personal best World Cup and celebrated its biggest sporting triumph. In 2008, he then finished his career and thus did not take the chance of true, 2010 at the Olympic Games in their own country to compete.

Buttle now works as a choreographer, among other things, Kim Yu -na, Patrick Chan, Javier Fernández and Yuzuru Hanyū.
