Olympic gold medalist Barbara Ann Scott will carry the Olympic torch in her hometown of Ottawa, Ont. this weekend. On Sunday, Dec. 13, the skating icon will relay the torch from 2343 Baseline Rd. to the Baseline Road/Rockway Crescent intersection at approximately 7:43 a.m.

Born in Ottawa, Scott is known as "Canada’s Sweetheart" after her gold medal win at the 1948 Winter Olympic Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. At just 19 years old she became a household name, winning the Canadian Championships, North America Championships, European Championships, World Championships, and an Olympic title; she became the first North American to win all five titles in the same year (1948). Carrying the torch has added to the numerous honours and awards Scott has received over her career in sport.

Scott is still the only Canadian woman to win Olympic gold and her impact on figure skating has been truly legendary as she continues to inspire young skaters to strive for greatness.

Elizabeth Manley will also be carrying the torch in Ontario. Manley is the 1988 Olympic silver medalist. She captured her medal on home soil -- in Calgary, Alberta. The petit blond infatuated the world with her bubbly personality and determination. She won the free program en route the silver medal.

Today Manley lives in Ottawa with her husband Brent Theobald. She coaches figure skating at the Gloucester Skating Club. Manley will carry the torch on Sunday, Dec. 13 as well. She will do the honors in Almonte, Ont.

Fans are invited to cheer Scott and Manley on this Sunday as they carry the torch through Onatrio.

Isabelle Brasseur was part of the torch relay on Dec. 7 in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec. The 5-foot Canadian beauty from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec and partner Lloyd Eisler won the 1993 World pairs title and were double bronze Olympic medalists -- in Albertville, France in 1992 and in Lillehammer, Norway in 1994.

The five-time Canadian champions competed in their first Olympics together in Calgary in 1988 where they finished ninth. Today Brasseur is raising a family with her husband Rocky Marval, in New Jersey.

Marie-Claude Savard-Gagnon, who won the 1997 Canadian pair championship with her partner Luc Bradet, carried the Olympic torch on Dec. 2 in Roberval, Québec.

Savard-Gagnon and Bradet competed at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan where they placed 16th. They placed ninth at the1988 World Figure Skating Championships in Minneapolis.

Eric Gillies, the 1977 Canadian ice dance champion with partner Susan Carcallen, was the first figure skater to take part in the torch relay. He did the honors in his home province of Oromocto, New Brunswick on Nov. 25.

Gillies competed at the 1976 Olympic Winter Games with Carscallen and placed 13th. He later enjoyed much success as the coach of Brasseur and Eisler.

The 2010 Olympic Torch Relay is a 106-day trek across Canada. Over 12,000 Canadians are expected to carry the torch. Thirteen former figure skaters are in those ranks. The relay began on Oct.30, 2009 when the torch arrived in Victoria, B.C.
