Canadian cross-country skiing has a proud history from the 2000s, both at the Olympics and the World Championships: At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Beckie Scott took home the gold medal in the 5km/5km pursuit. At the 2006 Olympics in Turin, she earned the silver medal in the team sprint. Additionally, Scott posted several top-10 finishes at the World Championships. 

Alex Harvey has five World Championship medals including two gold on his resume, as well as several top-10 finishes from the three Olympic Winter Games he attended before retiring after the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang. 

Devon Kershaw, like Harvey, posted several top-10 finishes at the three Olympic Winter Games he attended before retiring in 2019. Kershaw also helped secure Canada’s first World Championship gold medal, teaming up with Harvey at the 2011 World Championships team sprint.
