Kaitlyn Lawes was born on December 16, 1988, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She began curling at the age of four, following a family tradition that deeply embedded her in the sport. Her junior career was marked by significant achievements, including two national titles in 2008 and 2009, and subsequently earning consecutive World Junior Championship medals—bronze in 2008 and silver in 2009. These early successes established her as a prominent figure in Canadian curling. Lawes’s journey saw a pivotal moment after the death of her father, which caused her to consider leaving the sport. However, she found renewed strength to continue, transforming her personal challenge into motivation for her career.
Her career progressed significantly when she joined Jennifer Jones’s team as a third in 2011. This partnership led to immediate success, including multiple Grand Slam victories and national recognition. The pinnacle of this collaboration came in 2014 when the team represented Canada at the Sochi Winter Olympics. They achieved an unprecedented feat, winning the gold medal without suffering a single loss throughout the tournament, marking them as the first women’s team to go undefeated at the Olympics. Lawes continued to achieve national success, winning her first Canadian national women’s title at the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Further international acclaim came with a silver medal at the 2015 World Women’s Curling Championship.
A significant turning point came in 2018 when Lawes teamed up with John Morris for the inaugural mixed doubles curling event at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Despite minimal practice together, their combined experience and skill led them to win the gold medal, making them the first Canadian Olympic mixed doubles champions. This victory also made Lawes the first Canadian curler to win two Olympic gold medals, and the first to win gold in two consecutive Olympics. In the same year, she also won her first World Women’s Curling Championship with Team Jones, completing an undefeated run. Lawes continues to compete at an elite level, leading her own team, Team Lawes, since the 2022-23 season, and securing further provincial titles such as the 2024 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
