Trophee Bompard canceled after terror attacks in Paris

French authorities have cancelled the rest of the Trophee Bompard figure skating competition because of the terror attacks that killed at least 127 people in Paris.

Several Canadians, including Patrick Chan, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier were competing in Bordeaux, France, which is located more than five hours away from Paris. U.S. Figure Skating tweeted out Friday night that their delegation in Bordeaux is safe.

As of early Saturday morning, the United States’ team had not withdrawn.

Uno, the reigning world junior champion, also scored a personal-best 89.56 points, with Russia’s Maxim Kovtun third best with 86.82 ahead of Japan’s Daisuke Murakami at 80.24.

Toronto’s Chan was in fifth place after the short program.

Reigning world and European champion Tuktamysheva, who had finished second in her opening Grand Prix at Skate Canada this month, fell twice to trail in fifth (56.21).

“I am really angry that I messed up the double axel, especially since I practiced it after Skate Canada and was in good form after arriving in France”.

American Gracie Gold took was leading the field in the ladies’ event after scoring a personal best 73.32 points in an nearly flawless short program on Friday.

Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., was sixth with 55.35 points.

Gold improved her previous best by 2.06 points to build a comfortable lead of 7.69 points over Russian Julia Lipnitskaia heading into the free skating.

Wearing an elegant black dress with a red lining, the 20-year-old Gold landed a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination at the Meriadeck ice rink.

The worldwide Skating Union (ISU) has acknowledged the decision.

However, she is just over three points from third place, which is held by Roberta Rodeghiero if Italy.
