It was enough for bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the music ended, so did the composure. Gilles and Poirier stood in the centre of the rink, both in tears, as the crowd rose to its feet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A performance worth watching again and again! \ud83d\udd01\u26f8\ufe0f<br><br>Congratulations, Piper and Paul! \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83e\udd49<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamCanada?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamCanada<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MilanoCortina2026?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MilanoCortina2026<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RC_Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RC_Sports<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nOGDgYwaTf\">pic.twitter.com\/nOGDgYwaTf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Team Canada (@TeamCanada) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamCanada\/status\/2021710773161013325?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 11, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadian flags waved in pockets around the arena.

The Toronto-based duo, partners since 2011, are <strong>four-time world championship medallists<\/strong>. However, at their two previous Olympic appearances, the podium stayed just out of reach. This time, they closed the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold went to France\u2019s Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron, who scored 225.82 with a dramatic program set to music from \u201c<em>The Whale<\/em>\u201d. The Americans, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, three-time reigning world champions, took silver with 224.39 after skating to \u201c<em>Paint It Black<\/em>\u201d by Ramin Djawadi in front of a strong U.S. presence in the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was also late drama. Great Britain\u2019s Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, who trailed Gilles and Poirier by just 0.71 points after the rhythm dance, slipped from fourth to seventh when Fear stepped out of her twizzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Canada, the <strong>bronze is its fourth medal of these Games<\/strong> and the country\u2019s <strong>first in figure skating since collecting four at the 2018 Olympics<\/strong> in Pyeongchang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many medals can Canada win at the Milano Cortina\u00a02026 Winter Olympic\u00a0Games, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/olympics\">latest odds with selected Olympic bookmakers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary:\u00a0 After 15 years side by side, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier finally have the one thing that had eluded them: an Olympic medal.
