Golden in Shanghai
Canadian skating team Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the gold medal in the pair's event at the world figure skating championships in Shanghai, China on Saturday. It was the first world title for the team.
They put up the top score in both the short skate and free program, finishing with a total of 221.53 points.
Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., won the bronze at the world championships the previous two seasons and placed seventh at the Sochi winter Olympics.
The win ends a perfect season for the team as they have won gold in every event they've entered in 2014-15, including the Grand Prix Final, Four Continents championships and Canadian championships.
Dancing to bronze
Canadian ice dancers Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje from Waterloo, Ont., settled for third at the world championships on Friday despite being the favourites going into competition.
The pair won all five international events they competed in this season, including the Grand Prix Finals and Four Continents Championships.
The Canadians finished with 179.42 points while Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France recorded 184.28 for the win and Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates scored 181.34 for silver.
Leaping to a record
Canadian Shawnacy Barber from Toronto, Ont., won the Texas Relays on Saturday jumping 5.90 metres in his first outdoor competition of the season to set a new Canadian record.
Barber set the previous record of 5.71 at the same event two years ago. It is the world's highest jump so far this season.
A student at the University of Akron, Barber set the indoor record with a jump of 5.91 earlier this month to win the NCAA indoor track and field championships setting an NCAA and Canadian record.
