“OTTAWA, ON: Following a ninth-place finish at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, the pair team of Julianne Séguin, 21, Longueuil, Que., and Charlie Bilodeau, 24, Trois-Pistoles, Que., have decided to end their skating partnership. Séguin and Bilodeau teamed up in November of 2012 and quickly ascended national and international pair rankings...”

 

[Mrs. P]

On any other day, this would be crazy off-season news.

Still, I am sorry to read this.

 

[Sugarpova]

Like this day wasn't sad enough already...

 

[Alchamei]

Can we please end this freaking off-season already?!

 

[Colonel Green]

Very sorry to hear this. The last couple of seasons have been a struggle for them, what with the injuries, but I was hoping things would look up going forward.

 

[Sabrina]

What???? another brick in the wall...I can't be more sad, still...What's wrong with people.

 

[BillNeal]

Sad, sad news. They showed so much promise. Their 'In Your Eyes' FS made me a big fan, especially during their JGPF performance, which I remember with their excellent synchronization on the SBS spins and the Barcelona crowd loved them. They had such chemistry and skated to out-the-box music choices. They will be missed as a team.

 

[andromache]

Wonder what happened. Promising team with unexpected struggles the past few seasons.

Today sucks.

 

[Sorrento]

Oh God... I was hoping they could rebuild their career... Best wishes to both. Maybe they will be back eventually...

 

[Szeptuszka]

:shocked:

I never expected them to split so suddenly. With D/R retirement, they had great chances of becoming Canada's no.1. I wonder what happened.

If they decide to stay in the sport, I hope they'll find new, well-matched partners soon...

 

[invisiblespiral]

I'll miss them...

 

[4everchan]

Gs needs to allow swearing today.

 

[ancientpeas]

The last 24 hrs make me want to crawl back into my bed with my newly adopted rescue Golden Lab (12 years old) and hide.

I was a huge fan of Julianne and Charlie and I'm really sad to hear they have broken up. I know Julianne has had a lot of concussion problems and the team as a whole had a lot of injuries.

 

[Arriba627]

What?! Fell in love with them at Sk Amer 2016 where they took gold. So sorry to hear. :sad4:

 

[moriel]

ok, offseason. for real
I wonder if ISU could organize a random competition just so the offseason is officially over.

 

[DonnaR]

I was a huge fan of the two of them and I'm so sad to hear this. I hope we'll see both of them with new partners.

 

[withwings]

???:noshake::sad4::sad4:

they were BRILIANT together! they had that magical "something" which no one can learn, what is given from Above

 

[Tanager]

Other events today have put this in the perspective of being not so bad. Still, I am surprised and sad by this. I wish the best for Julianne and Charlie, wherever their future paths take them.

 

[Lester]

They were so cute together!
But it has been apparent for a while that they have been stagnating

 

[GarthAqua]

Now, only four pairs who have competed in JGPs during 2010-2017 are still in action.
Sui/Han
Danny/Frazier
Tarasova/Morozov
Alexandrovskaya/Windsor

All the other jr pairs have either retired or change partners
