World champion Osmond to skip this years Grand Prix circuit OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) - World champion Kaetlyn Osmond of Canada is skipping this years ISU Grand Prix events. Osmond won the world title in March, a month after taking individual bronze in the womens competition at the Pyeongchang Olympics. The 22-year-old Osmond became the first Canadian woman with a singles world title since Karen Magnussen in 1973. Osmonds layoff comes after other Canadian figure skating stars have left the sport: two-time Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir; three-time mens world champion Patrick Chan; and Pyeongchang pairs bronze winners Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford. For the past years, my focus has been on the 2018 Olympic Winter Games and I worked really hard to achieve my goals, Osmond said in a statement.
