Canadian pair Dube, Davison end partnership
Three-time Canadian pair champions Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison have ended their partnership after nine years as a team. The duo planned to compete this season, but was forced to sit out after Davison underwent knee surgery in October.
Three-time Canadian pair champions Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison have ended their partnership after nine years as a team. The duo planned to compete this season, but was forced to sit out after Davison underwent knee surgery in October.
Dube and Davison's best international result was a bronze medal from the 2008 World Championships. They had hoped to challenge for an Olympic medal at the Vancouver Games, but struggled with consistency during the Olympic season and finished sixth.
The pair may be most well know for a horrific accident at 2007 Four Continents, where Davison's blade sliced Dube's cheek on a side-by-side spin.
Both Dube and Davison plan to stay involved in figure skating. Dube competed as a singles skater at the Canadian Championships in January, finishing sixth. 这消息真爆炸啊~ 虽然之前看到D妹妹说去巴黎旅游什么的，忽然莫名有种奇怪的预感，不过，没想到真的拆伙了…… I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

OTTAWA, ON: Three-time Canadian Champions and 2008 world bronze medalists Jessica Dubé and Bryce Davison have ended their nine-year skating partnership. The team had been unable to compete this past season, due to an injury Davison suffered in October. Although they will not be skating as a pair team, both athletes plan to stay very involved in figure skating.
The unexpected break this season provided Jessica Dube, 23, of St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Quebec, with a different outlook. “With the injury to Bryce, I really had to look at my life, and what I wanted to do. It forced me to focus my time on skating singles, and found I really enjoyed it.” Although she would consider skating pair again if the right opportunity came along, she’s excited about developing her singles career as well. “I had done both before, but had only competed in pairs for the last few years. There was just something about returning to single skating that really helped me to find a spark inside again, and I want to continue pursuing singles even if I do return to pair skating.” She’s also preparing to return to school after several years as a full-time athlete, and has applied to Concordia University to study Communications.
Bryce Davison, 25, from Huntsville, Ontario, moved to Quebec to skate and train with Dubé in 2003. He has been working to rehabilitate his knee since surgery in October to re-attach a bone fragment. While the doctors are pleased with his progress, Davison still has not fully recovered. “I’ve just been cleared to go back on the ice this week, but it’s really just the first of almost baby steps to begin the journey back to the level of skating I would like. I still have a long way to go, but I’m really confident I will be able to get there.” Davison also is looking ahead to new opportunities. “Right now I have to focus on my healing, but I’m hoping to keep my options open. I’m taking steps towards getting my levels so I could coach at some point, and I’m also planning to continue my education.”
The competitive fire still burns though, and he doesn’t rule out skating pairs again. “If the right partnership opportunity came along, I would definitely be interested in skating pair again, at competing at the elite level.” Davison had gone back to school this year, studying Human Anatomy and Physiology online through Athabasca University. He plans to relocate to the Toronto area, and is looking at pursuing studies towards the medical or scientific field at a Toronto university.
Skate Canada’s High Performance Director, Mike Slipchuk, acknowledged the success of Dubé and Davison. “Jess and Bryce are strong singles skaters, who came together to form a partnership where they became a top junior and senior team in Canada and at the world level. When they won their world bronze medal at the 2008 championships, it was a spark that lit up the entire team that came home with three medals and continued Canada’s current success at the World Championships. They are great role models for our skaters and we look forward to them staying involved in the sport for many years as they each head in a new direction.
The two first teamed up to compete in pair in 2003, and had a very successful junior career, winning the silver medal at the ISU Junior World Figure Skating Championships in 2004 and 2005. They went on to qualify for the 2007 ISU Grand Prix Final where they finished fourth. The highlight of their career came with a bronze medal in pair at the 2008 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in 2008 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The pair also competed in two Olympic Winter Games, placing tenth in Torino and sixth in Vancouver.
