		The 15th Olympic hopeful to be profiled is figure skater Jeffrey Buttle.
		Early in the 2005-06 international season, Buttle already appears to be rounding into podium form after capturing the silver medal at the 2005 Grand Prix Final to go along with a runner-up finish at the 2005 Skate Canada International event and a gold medal at the 2005 Trophée Eric Bompard Cachemire.
		In 2004-05, Buttle enjoyed his finest season to date, winning gold at both the Canadian Championship and Cup of China to go along with a silver medal performance at the prestigious ISU Grand Prix Final in Beijing.

		Buttle, who splits his training time between Barrie, Ont., and Lake Arrowhead, Calif., struggled in the opening rounds here, failing to deliver a triple Axel in the qualifier and committing two major errors in the short.

		Buttle didn't attempt any quadruple jumps during the competition, but his stylish and complete skating was rewarded with high marks in the new judging system, which was being used for the first time at the World Championships.
		Buttle's silver medal made him the first Canadian man to win a world championship medal in five years (Elvis Stojko finished second in 2000), and convinced Buttle that he was an Olympic medal contender: "It was really weird how no one really skated their best that night," Buttle says.
		Buttle started skating at age 2 when his parents took him to public skating sessions at a local rink, and at 7 he began competing.

		Buttle also said it was unfortunate that world bronze medallist Takeshi Honda had withdrawn due to an injury as they train together in Canada.

		He lost marks for an unsuccessful attempt at a quadruple jump, a down-graded triple loop and for touching the ice on a triple axel, but scored high marks for the difficult footwork and inventive spins that are his trademark, a successful triple-triple combination and three additional triple jumps.
