The 22-year-old won a gold medal in the team event in Pyeongchang as well as an individual bronze medal.
“It’s so exciting,” she told reporters upon her arrival at the airport. “It still doesn’t feel real. I think it will take a few days at home before it all sinks in.
“I couldn’t be happier with how this all turned out.”
Osmond said she had to be on top of her game to compete against the Russians when she captured her bronze medal.
“It felt like the best I ever skated ever and it didn’t matter if I came third or not,” she said.
Osmond added her “social media has been exploding” and that she’s grateful to Canadians for all of their support.
