Canada's Gilles, Poirier retain ice dance title at Skate Canada International

Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier have once again claimed gold on home soil, finishing on top of the ice dance program at Skate Canada International in Vancouver.

The pair, skating in a competition for the first time since Gilles shared her ovarian cancer diagnosis in May, had a score of 131.46 in the free dance for a total score of 219.01.

Great Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, who had the audience clapping along to their "Rocky" themed program, finished just over five points behind the Canadians in the free dance to end up second overall.

Lithuania's Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevicius rounded out the unchanged top three from Friday's competition.
