She also withdrew from her second Grand Prix assignment, the NHK Trophy in Japan, effectively ending her fall competition season.

Alaine Chartrand is once again Canada’s golden girl. The Brockville-area native won the senior women’s title at the Canadian Tire National Figure Skating Championships in Saint John, New Brunswick on Saturday afternoon. Chartrand, 22, was in fifth place after the short program on Friday, but her top performance in the free program on Saturday gave her enough total points to reclaim the national title she won in 2016. The long-time member of the Prescott Figure Skating Club finished the 2019 competition with 185.91 points. Gabrielle Daleman, who led going into the free skate, ended up in fifth place overall. Chartrand, a graduate of Thousand Islands Secondary School, won the bronze medal at the 2017 nationals and placed fourth in 2018. Chartrand says the victory was redemption after a heartbreaking season that saw her miss the Pyeongchang Olympic team by a narrow margin.

Weaver and Poje, meanwhile, scored 213.78 points to win the dance title, topping the previous Canadian championship best of 209.82 set by Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir last year. But the International Skating Union has changed the scoring this season, to allow for higher grades of execution. The skaters from Waterloo, Ont., skated to "SOS, d'un terrien en detresse," a song they'd loved ever since hearing Kazahk skater Dennis Ten skate to it in a show last season. After Ten was murdered in a robbery last summer, the ice dancers said they would skate the program in his memory. But Saturday brought more bad news. "Today was a hard day," Weaver said. "Another dear friend of ours John Coughlin is no longer with us, so it was very hard today, but we tried to skate for him too, and this program is representative of losing those who are dear to you. The emotion was real today."
