Orser won his first national title in the Junior category in 1977. The following season participated in the Juniores World Cup, ranking fourth behind his rival Brian Boitano. In 1979 he conquered a second national title at the Junior level.

In 1980 he went to the Senior category. At its first international race, the Vienna Cup, won the bronze, then placing fourth at the Canadian skating championships. This was the last time in this competition was out of the podium.

In the 1980-1981 season, which followed the Olympics, Orser won the silver at the Nebelhorn Trophy, he placed sixth in Skate Canada International, and then won the first of the eight national titles they would follow. In his debut at the World Cup he placed sixth. The following season, he won his first medal in Skate Canada and the World Cup obtained fourth place. He will improve this position in 1983, with a bronze that will offer him a good position in preparation for the Olympic season.

Already when he still competed in the junior category, Orser had been the second man to land a triple Axel, who at the time only a few skaters had tried. [2] In the following years, the Canadian landed this leap more and more frequently and with much more ease than the other skaters. Thus, at the Olympics not only obtained the silver medal behind Scott Hamilton, but he was also the first man to land a triple Axel in an Olympic competition. Behind Hamilton he won the silver at the 1984 World Cup.

In the 1984-1985 season, after the retirement of the historic rival Brian Boitano, Brian could have been an undisputed champion, but because of some imperfections at the World Cup he only placed himself second, behind the Russian Alexander Fadeev. After this race, then, to accumulate advantage over Fadeev, Orser began working on the addition of a second triple Axel in his program: at the 1987 World Cup, he became the first skater to land two triple Axel in a free program and three in one Competition only. [3] He won this competition.
