In their ninth national championships together and five silver medals to show for those appearances, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier are finally poised to secure their first Canadian title after an animated and energetic performance to selections from Mack and Mabel.
While the team scored 88.86 points, the program was not without its challenges. In the opening steps, Gilles' hair braid tangled around Poirier's shirt button and required his swift manipulation to detach her.

They persevered to earn level 4 on all five elements and high grades of execution (GOE) for their strong twizzles, midline and pattern step sequences, and animated closing rotational lift.
