Brad Gushue

Bradley Raymond Gushue (born June 16, 1980) is a Canadian curler from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, widely regarded as one of the most successful skips in the history of the sport. He began curling at age 13 in 1993 and quickly rose to prominence, winning the Canadian Junior Curling Championship as skip in 2001 after serving as an alternate on the 1998 world junior winning team.

Gushue's senior career highlights include representing Canada at two Winter Olympics, where he skipped the team to gold at the 2006 Turin Games—Newfoundland and Labrador's first Olympic gold in any sport—and bronze at the 2022 Beijing Games, marking the longest medal gap (16 years) in Canadian Winter Olympic history. At the Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, Gushue holds the record for most wins as skip with six titles (2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), having appeared in a record 22 editions of the event. He has also secured five medals at the World Men's Curling Championship, including the 2017 gold medal and silver medals in 2018, 2022, 2023, and 2024, along with 15 Grand Slam of Curling victories.
