Following a successful junior career, Evelyn Walsh/Trennt Michaud of Canada made the jump to the senior ranks this year. After some ups and downs at their fall events, the young Canadian team earned the silver medal at Canadian Nationals and berths to Four Continents and Worlds. The duo is focused on learning and growing as they gain experience in during their first senior season together. Get to know this young team in my interview with them for Figure Skaters Online:

Recently I traveled to Anaheim, CA, to cover the ISU 2019 Four Continents Championship for Figure Skaters Online. While I was there, I had the great pleasure of chatting with pairs coach Richard Gauthier of Canada. As most pairs fans know, Gauthier has been among the world’s top pairs coaches for 15 years or longer, having coached such famous teams as Jamie Sale/David Pelletier and Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford to World championships. Currently he works with coaching partner Bruno Marcotte in Montreal, where they have a pairs school including teams such as Moore-Towers/Marinaro, Alexandrovskaya/Windsor, Ruest/Wolfe, and more. During our chat in Anaheim, Gauthier shared some updates on his current teams, broke down the field of top pairs heading into 2019 Worlds, and gave his opinion on how recent rules changes have affected pairs. Take a few minutes to check out our interview!
