Emanuel Sandhu

[1] Sandhu qualified for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, but was forced to withdraw before the short program due to injury.

Sandhu stated that he was almost relieved to have to withdraw with an injury, because it was difficult dealing with his father's return.

Sandhu was the Canadian Nationals Champion in 2001, 2003 and 2004, and he won the Grand Prix Final in 2004, his most successful season.

This win was even more notable because Sandhu was a substitute, not having medaled at his Grand Prix events that season.

Sandhu went on to win his third Canadian title and to take the silver medal at the 2004 Four Continents, his highest placement at the event.

[7][8] Sandhu returned to competition in December 2012 at the 2013 Skate Canada Challenge; he finished fifth, which qualified him for the 2013 Canadian Nationals.

[14] Sandhu began studying ballet at the age of three and continued to dance until the end of high school.

He succeeded past all but the final round of auditions and was cut when selections were made for the show's Top 20.
