About Kim Alletson

Born 1958. Kim Alletson is a Canadian figure skater.

Patricia Kim Alletson (born June 30, 1958 in Brockville, Ontario) is a Canadian former competitive figure skater. She is the 1977 Skate Canada International champion, the 1973 Grand Prix International St. Gervais bronze medallist, and a two-time (1975, 1976) Canadian national silver medallist. She represented Canada at the 1976 Winter Olympics.

Career Alletson won the junior women's title at the 1974 Canadian Championships.

At the 1975 Canadian Championships, Alletson landed a triple Salchow jump and won the silver medal. She was selected for the 1975 World Championships based on her placement; she said she had been so focused on doing well at the Canadian Championships that she hadn't though about competing at the World Championships. At the World Championships, she performed good doubles but fell on her triple Salchow attempt, and she finished 12th overall.

The next year, Alletson won a second silver medal at the Canadian Championships. At the Canadian Championships, she won the bronze medal and was not selected for the 1977 World Championships team.

In the 1977–1978 season, Alletson was bothered by inflamed tendons in her knee. Though doctors advised her to rest it, she continued skating because she wanted to compete at the 1978 Canadian Championships and did not have a bye to miss the divisional championships to qualify. She received a cortisone shot before the Canadian Championships, but at practice, her knee collapsed while attempting a triple Salchow. Unable to lift her leg, she was helped off the ice and taken to the hospital. Because of her injury, she withdrew from the competition.
