context_page_description: Jamie Rae Salé is a Canadian pair skater. With partner and former husband David Pelletier, she is the 2002 Olympic Champion and 2001 World Champion. The Olympic gold medals of Salé and Pelletier were shared with the Russian pair Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze after the 2002 Winter Olympics figure skating scandal.
context_section_description: After the Olympics, Salé and Pelletier turned professional and began touring North America with Stars on Ice, a figure skating show.
  Salé and Pelletier became engaged on Christmas Day 2004 at their Edmonton, Alberta home, and married on December 30, 2005 at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in Banff, Alberta. In 2006, they served as commentators on Olympic Ice, which aired on USA Network during the 2006 Winter Olympics. Their only child together, son Jesse Joe Pelletier, was born on September 30, 2007 at the Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert, Alberta.
  Salé and Pelletier were inducted into the Skate Canada Hall of Fame in 2008. They were inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame on March 26, 2009.
  In October 2009, Salé began competing on the first season of the CBC's Battle of the Blades. She was partnered with hockey player Craig Simpson (currently lead analyst for Hockey Night in Canada), "whom she had known for years from the Edmonton skating scene." They won the competition in November 2009. In 2010, Salé competed on the second season of Battle of the Blades, this time paired with Theoren Fleury.
  On June 4, 2010, it was reported that Salé and Pelletier had decided to divorce, but planned to remain skating partners; they skated together until they retired in 2012. In a later interview, Salé stated that they had separated in March 2009, but chose to keep the news private for over a year. On June 21, 2012 in California, Salé married her season 1 Battle of the Blades partner Craig Simpson, who split from his first wife in March 2010. Salé and Simpson have one daughter, Samantha Rae "Sam" Simpson, born on July 7, 2013. Through this marriage, Salé is also a stepmother to Simpson's three children from his first marriage.
  Starting in September 2013, Salé served as a judge on the fourth season of Battle of the Blades.
