Two-time Canadian Champion and 2010 Olympian Cynthia Phaneuf retires from figure skating

MONTREAL, QC: In 2004, a new figure skating star burst onto the Canadian scene. Cynthia Phaneuf, 24, Contrecoeur, Que., rose swiftly through the junior ranks to win her first Canadian title at the Canadian Figure Skating Championships, held in Edmonton, Alberta that year. Now eight years later, after a lengthy international career, she has decided to retire from the amateur world of figure skating, but plans to remain connected to the sport she loves.

Phaneuf, a native of Contrecoeur, Quebec, announced her retirement today in front of family and friends in Montreal, Quebec. She was also Canadian Champion in 2011, and represented Canada at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Her best international placement came in 2010 when she finished fifth at the 2010 ISU World Figure Skating Championships, just missing the bronze medal by 1.08 points.
