Brianne Tutt

Brianne Tutt (born June 9, 1992) is a Canadian speedskater from Airdrie, Alberta.

She skated in the 1500 m event at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Just over a year before the Sochi Olympics, Tutt was run over by another skater as she stood waiting to do a practice start at the Calgary Olympic Oval. The collision resulted in severe injuries to Tutt including two broken neck vertebrae, fractured skull, two broken ribs, broken collar bone, hearing loss, Bells Pasly and a concussion. Despite this prognosis, Tutt would overcome most of these injuries with only hearing loss, nagging neck pain, and concussion symptoms as a long-term result.
