Following the coronation of Dubé / Davison, the final of the ladies followed and the day was concluded with the final dance. Still beautiful moments are filled with emotions that occurred in London ...
Finally,
Rochette offered the performance it surely hoped since the beginning of the season. Ending up second after the short program, Joannie has really given anything to offer solid performance and thus put their hands on a sixth straight national title. A faultless performance on all points, which will surely give it a little more confidence for Vancouver. 
Cynthia Phaneuf ended up skating after the superb performance of Joannie Rochette. Despite this pressure, Phaneuf seemed very relaxed when she came on the ice. She offered a strong performance despite some triple jumps become double. Still, all was under control and no fall is coming glazing performance. It was so good, we forgive him almost fall when making its final pose! haha
Samson Samson was taken advantage of errors committed Amelie Lacoste and finished 3rd. Good program executed with ease, a performance that contrasted with last year.
Diane Szmiett and Amelie Lacoste completed the top 5. For the future, an eye should be focused on Adriana DeSanctis has been probably the performance of her life to finish sixth and Kate Charbonneau, who finished 7th.
It should be noted that Mira Leung withdrew before the free skate, after finishing 15th in the short program. The complete

Tessa Virtue
e / Scott Moir were untouchable even before the free dance begins. Nevertheless, they offered a great performance that surely touched every heart present at John Labatt Center. They changed the output of Tessa at the door, called "The Goose". During the season, Tessa was leaving the port by making a slight jump. By cons, it is possible that this release is against the rules (no jump is allowed in dance). Therefore, the output was changed by Tessa dropping into the arms of Scott. The new release is ... but I had a preference for the other! haha .. Especially with the first white dress with a buckle that Tessa wore during the Grand Prix ... it was a nice effect! Vanessa Crone / Paul Poirier, who were third after the original dance to 0.02 points Weaver / Poje, offered a very good performance also ... which is unfortunately marred by a fall from Vanessa during a twizzle . Still, they managed to slip into second place. There is some controversy around the 2nd and 3rd places ...
You see, the only pr oblem
technique Weaver / Poje was slightly addicted to Poje during a circular step sequence. No fall, no imbalance total ... just a little addicted. According PJ Kwong, commentator for CBC / BOLD, their coach Shae-Lynn Bourne asked the couple if they had could execute the entire sequence of steps. If I understand correctly, Weaver / Poje were penalized more heavily than Crone / Poirier, because they otherwise might not run the entire sequence? I am a bit annoyed .. and quite frankly disappointed. I very much hope that Weaver / Poje rank second to secure a place for Vancouver ... Now it seems a waste ... In 4th place, Kharis Ralph / Asher Hill offered a dynamic, fun, light. They could go over Allie Hann-McCurdy-Michael Coreno. Speaking of them, I have a little funny feeling that their new coaches trying to turn them into clone of Virtue / Moir ... I hope I'm wrong!
was also able to see Mylene Girard / Jonathan Pelletier, now trained by Marie-France Dubreuil / Patrice Lauzon. A beautiful free dance, which bears the signature of Dubreuil / Lauzon. Tarrah Harvey / Keith Gagnon will also be a couple to watch in the future. They have an expression of thunder and they have delivered their program very well on a medley of Charlie Chaplin.
