Emily Bausback


Emily Bausback is a Canadian figure skater. She is the 2020 Canadian national champion.

Career

Bausback began learning to skate in 2005. She trains at the Champs International Skating Centre of BC at Burnaby 8 Rinks in Burnaby, British Columbia, coached by Joanne McLeod. Bausback debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in September 2016.

2019–20 season

Commencing her fourth season on the Junior Grand Prix, Bausback placed sixth at JGP United States in Lake Placid. Selected afterward to make her senior international debut on the Challenger series, she was sixth at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup. Bausback's result in Poland initially earned her the season's required technical minimum scores necessary to attend ISU championship events; however, a subsequent midseason amendment by the ISU meant that she lacked the short program minimum.
Competing as a senior domestically, Bausback ranked fourth in the short program at the 2020 Canadian Championships. She then won the free skate to take the gold medal, scoring ahead of silver medalist Alison Schumacher by 6.60 points. Speaking afterward, she called it "the best feeling I have ever had." Bausback was the first national ladies' champion from British Columbia since Karen Magnussen's fifth victory in 1973.
Due to Bausback lacking the senior international technical minimum in the short program, she could not be immediately assigned to one of Canada's two ladies' berths at the 2020 World Championships. She was instead assigned, along with Schumacher and fourth-place Alicia Pineault, to compete at the 2020 Four Continents Championships in Seoul. Bausback placed fifteenth at the Championships, and came up short of the short program minimum. Emily did achieve the minimum TES for her Short Program at her subsequent competition at The Challenge Cup in the Hague, Netherlands. Emily was named in the last spot for Canada's World Team for the 2020 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal.
