Skate Canada has updated its policies so that ice dance or pairs teams competing domestically can be composed of any two athletes.
Canada's governing body of figure skating announced Tuesday that its definition of "team" for athletes training in the Podium Pathway will be revised to consisting of "two skaters."
The previous definition was one woman and one man.
Skate Canada said in a tweet that there are no new event categories, and any team can enter the pair or ice dance disciplines at any Skate Canada domestic event.
