Coach Elena Sokolova told that at the last world championship she was very impressed by the dance duet. Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier who should have won.
Canadian dancers Gilles and Poirier are the winners of the Four Continents Championship, the Grand Prix Final and the International Challengers. They finished second at the 2024 World Championships. The tournament winners were Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates, while Italians Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri took bronze.
— My favorites are Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, I have loved them for many years. Before that, I had Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue. I also like watching Laurence Fournier-Baudry and Nikolai Sorensen.
Many experts said that Gilles and Poirier should have won at the World Championships. I agree with that. Here the judges’ votes, line scores and other technical nuances were decided, the rating clearly played a role. It seems to me that it was generally difficult for the judges to evaluate this tournament: several clean skates from the leaders, so close in quality… We have the most subjective point of view: we look at the elements, as if the photo was nice, but there may be nothing in the legs. Or vice versa, it’s all in the legs, but the photo is not interesting to look at. The results cannot be changed, but I continue to love the Canadian duo and look forward to new and interesting productions! – Sokolova told .
