'''Wesley Chiu''' (born March 20, 2005) is a Canadian figure skater. He is the 2024 Canadian champion and a two-time national bronze medallist (2022–23). He placed fourth at the 2022 World Junior Championships and won two medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix, including gold at the 2021 JGP France II.

==Career== === Early years === Chiu began learning to skate in 2009. In his early years in competitive skating at the national level, he was the 2017 Skate Canada Challenge silver medallist at the pre-novice level. Debuting as a novice the following season, he was the bronze medallist at the 2018 Skate Canada Challenge and finished ninth at the 2018 Canadian Novice Championships. In the 2018–19 season, he won gold at both Skate Canada Challenge and the 2019 Canadian Novice Championships and made his international debut at the advanced novice level by winning the Bavarian Open.<ref name=ISU-WC/>

=== 2019–20 season: Junior international debut === After his novice results, Chiu was selected to make his Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2019 JGP Italy in Egna-Neumarkt. He finished thirteenth. Returning to the domestic scene, he won the silver medal at both Skate Canada Challenge and the 2020 Canadian Junior Championships.<ref name=ISU-WC/>

=== 2020–21 season === Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Junior Grand Prix and the rest of the international junior season were cancelled. Chiu competed only domestically, winning bronze at the junior level at a virtually-held Skate Canada Challenge.<ref name=2021SCC/> This would have qualified him to the 2021 Canadian Championships, but these were cancelled due to the pandemic.<ref name=CBC210116/>

=== 2021–22 season: First JGP and national medals === Chiu returned to international competition with the resumption of the Junior Grand Prix, competing at the second installment of the French JGP in Courchevel. Due to pandemic restrictions, skaters from Russia could not attend the event.<ref name=IFS210810/> Chiu won the short program by a wide margin but struggled in the free skate, remaining narrowly in first overall and taking the gold medal. Speaking afterwards, he said that the short program result caused "a lot of excitement", as a result of which in "the long program, I feel like I struggled a bit in the beginning, but I was able to push that aside and really finish the program strong."<ref name=ISU210831/> At his second assignment, the 2021 JGP Russia in Krasnoyarsk, he won the bronze medal. He was one of only two non-Russian competitors to podium at the event in any discipline.<ref name=ISU210920/> He landed a quad toe loop in international competition for the first time, calling it "another great milestone I've achieved."<ref name=SC210917/> Chiu's gold medal qualified him for the 2021–22 Junior Grand Prix Final, intended to be held in Osaka, but it was cancelled due to restrictions prompted by the Omicron variant.<ref name=CBC211202/>

Following the end of the Junior Grand Prix, Chiu was sent to make his international senior debut at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup. Only eleventh in the short program after missing his jump combination, he rallied in the free skate, skating cleanly and landing two quads in a program for the first time. He set a new personal best and won that segment of the competition, finishing fourth overall, ten points behind bronze medallist Petr Gumennik.<ref name=SC211119/>

Chiu next competed at the 2022 Canadian Championships in Ottawa, hoping to qualify for one of the two men's berths on the Canadian team for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Not initially considered among the top contenders, he finished a surprise second in the short program. He was only fifth in the free skate after singling a planned triple Axel but narrowly finished third overall, 0.54 points ahead of Joseph Phan. Wearing his first senior national medal, Chiu said his season was "like a rocket ship because it kept going higher and higher and kept getting better."<ref name=GS220109/> He was named the first alternate for the Olympic team and assigned to attend the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, which would have been his ISU championship debut. However, he had to withdraw from Four Continents due to his coach testing positive for COVID-19.<ref name=AnythingGOEs/> Chiu's status as the first alternate for the Olympics briefly came into play when national champion Keegan Messing was initially unable to travel to Beijing due to positive COVID tests, as a result of which Chiu was standing by to depart in his stead. However, Messing was ultimately able to leave in time.<ref name=JD220203/><ref name=CBC220206/>

Chiu was assigned to finish his season at the 2022 World Junior Championships, held in mid-April rather than the traditional early March to accommodate a last-minute move from Sofia to Tallinn.<ref name=ISU220304/> Due to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, all Russian and Belarusian skaters were banned by the ISU.<ref name=ISU220301/> In the short program, Chiu skated cleanly but for an edge call on his triple flip, receiving a new personal best score of 81.59. He finished second in the segment, 0.33 points ahead of Estonia's Mihhail Selevko and 7.40 points behind leader Ilia Malinin of the USA, winning a silver small medal.<ref name=GS220414/> Errors in the free skate dropped him to fourth place overall, 5 points behind bronze medallist Tatsuya Tsuboi.<ref name=GS220416/>

=== 2022–23 season === Beginning the season on the Challenger circuit, Chiu finished in tenth place at the 2022 CS U.S. Classic.<ref name=SC220916/> He then made his senior Grand Prix debut at the 2022 Skate America, alongside American training partner Liam Kapeikis. Chiu said he was eager to participate in events with larger audiences.<ref name=RN221019/> He finished sixth at the event, 0.40 points and one placement ahead of his friend Kapeikis.<ref name=SC221023/> He was tenth at the 2022 Grand Prix de France.<ref name=ISU-WC/>

Chiu won the silver medal at the 2022–23 Skate Canada Challenge, qualifying to the 2023 Canadian Championships.<ref name=SC221202/> At the national championships, he had a poor short program, finishing eleventh in that segment. He was third in the free skate, rising to third overall and his second consecutive national bronze medal. Chiu related afterwards that he had been sick in advance of the championships, but had persevered through it.<ref name=GS230115/> He was assigned to compete at the 2023 World Junior Championships.<ref name=SC230115/>

At the World Junior Championships on home ice in Calgary, Chiu had a bad land on the first part of his planned jump combination, but was still able to complete it. He finished second in the segment for the second consecutive year, coming five points behind Japan's Kao Miura and taking another silver small medal.<ref name=ISU230303/> In the free skate, Chiu doubled both of his attempts at quad toe loop, coming eighth in the segment and dropping to fifth overall. Chiu said that he hoped to compete both at the junior and senior levels the following season, and indicated that he was developing a quad Lutz that was "going well."<ref name=GS230305/>

=== 2023–24 season === Chiu began the season by winning the silver medal at the 2023 Cranberry Cup International behind Mark Gorodnitsky of Israel.<ref name=ISU-WC/> He finished third in the short program at the 2023 CS Autumn Classic International, but dropped to seventh after struggling in the free skate.<ref name=SC230916/> In his second season on the Grand Prix, Chiu finished seventh at the 2023 Skate Canada International, the highest placement of the three Canadian men in attendance.<ref name=SC231029/> Subsequently added to the 2023 NHK Trophy, he came eleventh at the event, acknowledging "some big, costly mistakes."<ref name=SC231125/> [[File:Wesley Chiu 2024 Worlds Free Skate 3.jpg|thumb|Chiu finishing his free skate at the 2024 World Championships]] In the short program at the 2024 Canadian Championships, Chiu successfully landed his quad-triple combination and triple Lutz, though his triple Axel was only landed with difficulty. His 88.98 score led the segment by a wide margin. Despite problems in the free skate where he failed to land a clean quad or triple Axel, he remained in first place overall and won his first national title.<ref name=GS240115/> On his victory, Chiu said "I can skate with more pride now. It also comes with responsibility. Really motivating to go back and train hard."<ref name=CBC240113/>

Skate Canada initially declined to name its team for the 2024 World Championships, pending the results of the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, which Chiu attended alongside Conrad Orzel and Roman Sadovsky. He set new personal bests in the short program (83.50) and total score (240.38), and finished seventh overall, the highest placement among the Canadians. Chiu called the experience of his first senior ISU championship ""something you can't truly replicate in training," saying it was "truly eye-opening to skate alongside such incredible athletes."<ref name=GS240203/> Afterward, he and Sadovsky were assigned to the two Canadian berths at the World Championships, being held on home ice in Montreal.<ref name=SC240224/>

Chiu finished seventeenth in his World Championship debut. Despite errors, he said he felt he had learned a lot from the experience, explaining that "skating at home, in a sold-out arena isn't something you can really replicate in training."<ref name=SC240323/>

=== 2024–25 season === Chiu began the season with a fourteenth-place finish at the 2024 Nebelhorn Trophy. He then went on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, finishing ninth at the 2024 Skate America.<ref name=ISU-WC/> Although Chiu had also been assigned to compete at the 2024 Cup of China, he suffered a bad fall in practice the day before the men's short program, where he injured his ankle. He ultimately withdrew shortly before the event.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wesley Chiu 🇨🇦 withdrew from the competition due to the injury. |url=https://x.com/goldenskate/status/1859839061676130534 |website=X |publisher=Golden Skate |access-date=24 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Men Short Program - Cup of China 2024 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsrqVL0rloM&t=2668s |website=YouTube |publisher=International Skating Union |access-date=24 November 2024 |archive-date=22 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241222220405/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsrqVL0rloM&t=2668s |url-status=live }}</ref> He subsequently withdrew from the 2025 Canadian Championships and later the 2025 Four Continents Championships as well, thus ending his season.<ref>{{cite web |title=🇨🇦 Wesley Chiu has withdrawn from Canadian Nationals |url=https://x.com/AnythingGOE/status/1878565902465053095 |website=X |publisher=Anything GOEs |access-date=24 February 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Unfortunately, BC’s Wesley Chiu had to withdraw from the 2025 ISU Four Continents Championship, but what’s exciting is that our Matthew Newnham has stepped in to take his place! |url=https://www.instagram.com/skateab_nwt_nun/p/DGQmTM8pWTv/ |website=Instagram |publisher=Instagram |access-date=24 February 2025}}</ref>

In June, Chiu shared that he had undergone surgery to treat a fracture in his ankle.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chiu |first1=Wesley |title=Over the past six months, I’ve been dealing with a sprain and small fracture to my ankle.

=== 2025–26 season === Chiu made his return to competition at the 2025 CS Warsaw Cup, where he finished in ninth place. He subsequently followed this up by winning gold at the 2025 Skate Canada Challenge.<ref name=SS-WC/>

In January, Chiu competed at the 2026 Canadian Championships, where he finished in fourth place.<ref name=SS-WC/><ref name=GS011026MC>{{cite news |url=https://www.goldenskate.com/stephen-gogolev-golden-in-gatineau/ |title=Stephen Gogolev ‘golden’ in Gatineau |first=Paula |last=Slater |work=Golden Skate |date=January 10, 2026}}</ref>
