Since retiring from the Canadian National Team, this biracial figure skater has gained a massive following with his TikTok and Instagram videos. Whether back-flipping to James Brown or crip-walking to Drake, Baldé pushes boundaries in his sport—both artistically, in terms of music choices and choreography, and socially, challenging stereotypes about race and masculinity. He’s on a mission to change the culture of figure skating, making it more accessible and more inclusive, one ice cold moonwalk at a time. Presented in partnership with Ellad's Skate Global Foundation.
