Eric Radford of Balmertown and Meagan Duhamel of Lively, Ont., claimed their first pairs title Saturday at the Canadian figure skating championships in Moncton.
Duhamel and Radford, who’ve been partners for less than two seasons, scored 190.11 for the pairs gold. Duhamel jumped up and down the moment the music stopped, and was overcome with emotion when the score was posted.
The Canadian champs skated a nearly flawless performance to music from Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida.”
“When I first started skating, it was this moment I was dreaming of, and it’s all happening right now,” Radford said. “It’s what every athlete dreams of, these moments like this, it’s an incredible feeling.”
Dube and Wolfe scored 171.60 for silver, while Lawrence and Swiegers finished with 168.84 points for bronze. (Canadian Press)
