Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier earned ice dance bronze at the figure skating world championships on Saturday.
"We just wanted to put our best foot forward and enjoy every last step of this program," Gilles said. "We've enjoyed doing it every time we've gone out there, so performing it on the world stage after being gone for a few months was so rewarding."
“We really wanted to focus on ourselves, and skate our best, and highlight all the work that we’ve put this year into these programs.” South Korean skater Cha Jun-hwan was second with 296.03 points followed by American teenager Ilia Malinin, who became the first skater to land a quadruple axel at the world championships and finished with 288.44 points.
Cha, third after the short program, moved up to second with a powerful routine that featured a quad salchow and a quad toeloop.
