🎤 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT: MICAELA WIDMER

We’re thrilled to welcome Micaela Widmer to the Sport Summit 2026 stage! 🇨🇦

A high-performance sport leader, coach, former international skeleton athlete, and partnership strategist, Micaela brings a unique perspective on leadership, athlete development, community, and the power of sport to create meaningful change.

From competing internationally for both Canada and Switzerland, to leading the development of Canada’s National Skeleton Program, Micaela has worked across every level of the sport, from an athlete’s first race to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

🌎 As Co-Chair of the IBSF Development Committee, she is helping shape the future of skeleton internationally.

💪 As Head Coach at the 2025 Invictus Games, she helped more than 200 adaptive athletes face their fears and compete in skeleton.
