Biography
Olivia Asselin made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022 where she qualified for the finals in both big air and slopestyle, finishing eighth and 11th, respectively.
Asselin began competing internationally during the 2018-19 season when she made appearances on the Nor-Am Cup circuit and represented Canada at the FIS Junior World Championships, where she placed sixth in the big air final. It was also in 2019 that she won big air gold at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer.
Having earned her spot on the national team, Asselin competed in her first FIS World Cup events in 2019-20 and earned top 10 finishes in four of her five events entered, highlighted by a seventh-place finish in slopestyle in Calgary in February. Though the COVID-19 pandemic limited her opportunities to compete in 2020-21, she did make her debut at the senior FIS World Championships.
In her debut at the Winter X Games in Aspen in 2022, Asselin won bronze in big air. She has gone on to win three more medals at the X Games, including a silver in slopestyle in 2025. In 2024 she won gold in the knuckle huck and in 2025 she took gold in streetstyle.
Asselin earned her first World Cup podium in December 2022, finishing third in a big air event in Copper Mountain. She added a third-place finish in a slopestyle World Cup in Tignes in March 2024 before posting her career-best result, a second-place finish in slopestyle, in Stubai in November 2025.
Asselin had a near-podium performance at the 2025 FIS World Championships, placing fourth in big air and missing out on the bronze medal by less than a point.
