After the French national anthem is played, the medallists acknowledge the crowd...
and pose for pictures.
This is followed by a well deserved victory lap.
The exhibitions were about an hour after the Dance competition. I took no pictures during the performances. The pictures below were taken afterwards. As you can see, Marina and Gwendal did their DME number. They were asked to do an encore, and got into (what I thought was) the position to do the section of last years OD they often use. The wrong music started (does this happen a lot to them?), so they just started to glide around the rink, and, to the crowds delight, went into the reverse lift they used in last years long.
Here, all the dance performers were introduced to take their final bows.
No, Shae-Lynn and Victor did not compete. They did a special guest performance in the middle of the exhibitions (to their OD). They were introduced after the performances, during the final bows.
Everyone takes a final bow, signaling the end to a wonderful Skate Canada.
