Canadian Figure Skater Nikolaj Sorensen Suspended for Six Years Over Sexual Maltreatment Allegation

The Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner has issued the suspension following allegations from a 2012 incident in Hartford, Connecticut.

  • Nikolaj Sorensen's suspension is listed on the Abuse-Free Sport registry and can be challenged or appealed.
  • The allegation involves an American figure skating coach and former skater, with Sorensen denying the claim, which has not been tested in court.
  • Sorensen and partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry competed last season despite the ongoing investigation.
  • Skate Canada, the governing body, is complying with the suspension decision and will enforce the ban.
  • Since August 2023, Sorensen is the sixth athlete suspended by the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner for sexual maltreatment.
