Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje stepping away from competition


OTTAWA, ON: Three-time Canadian ice dance champions Kaitlyn Weaver, 30, Toronto, Ont., and Andrew Poje, 32, Waterloo, Ont., have decided to step away from competition for the time being. Weaver and Poje will use their time away from the Grand Prix and Challenger series events to evaluate their future plans and will provide an update on their career later this season. The team has competed internationally for Canada since 2006, attending two Olympic Winter Games (2014, 2018).

Weaver and Poje are three-time world medallists, winning their most recent world medal at the 2018 world championships. The two-time Grand Prix Final champions are coached by Nikolai Morozov, Igor Shpilband and Pasquale Camerlengo and train in Hackensack, NJ, USA.

Oh, I for one did not see this one coming. Hope they will come back, they'd have so much more to give.

I think it has surprised a lot of folks but, as the GP assignments are about to be announced by the ISU, I presume that explains the timing.

I wonder if they will be rejoining Scott & Tessa for their tour?
