“It was really exciting for us to skate last,” said Les Suprêmes co-captain Julia Bernardo in a Skate Canada statement Saturday.
“Skating last is always super exciting because the crowd is always super fun and loud, and when the crowd gets louder, we just try to be more and more calm, and we prepared ourselves for that.”
Les Suprêmes also won both the Canadian championship and Budapest Cup, and earned silver at the PGE Hevelius Cup this season.
“This is unbelievable,” said Les Suprêmes co-captain Olivia Di Giandomenico. “You don’t realize it until it happens, but we’re so happy and proud of our team.
“We’ve come a long way and we’ve been working really hard this season with the goal of winning the world championships again, and it came true and we’re just super happy.”
Nova Senior of St-Hubert finished fifth.
