CAITLYN WEAVER

[FSWer]

Say, I just read in IFS. that Andrew Poje no longer skates. Does anyone Know who Caitlyn weaver skates with now?

 

[Sylvia]

Kaitlyn (correct spelling of her first name ) Weaver currently is skating in a show on Canadian TV called "Battle of the Blades."

Andrew Weaver is also skating in that TV show.

 

[FSWer]

Ya, I read that Andrew Poje was skating in that show. But I also read in that he is now a former Ice-Dancer...unless I'm missing something.

 

[Sylvia]

I just checked the Skate Canada website and Kaitlyn & Andrew have not officially announced their retirement from competition together (this is their June 2019 press release):

Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje stepping away from competition – Skate Canada

ETA:

Many of us fans assume they are not planning to return to ice dance competition with new partners but they have not confirmed this publicly themselves.

 

[FSWer]

There must be a misprint in the artical. Because it says they stepped down.

 

[Sylvia]

Some skaters don't like to make a big announcement when they decide to retire officially.

Kaitlyn currently describes herself on her Instagram page as a "Canadian Olympic figure skater based in NYC": https://www.instagram.com/ka2sh/

Oh

 

[Lemonade20]

You mean Kaitlyn Weaver, and they are both skating on “Battle of the Blades”, although they no longer compete together. They are still great friends.

If I remember correctly, Andrew went back to school.

They are not competing anymore, but still skating. They were supposed to be in SOI last spring before it was cancelled.

 

[Sylvia]

If I remember correctly, Andrew went back to school.

Yes, Poje was scheduled to begin a Master of Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University this past August on an academic scholarship through the Canadian Olympic Committee:

Smith School of Business and Canadian Olympic Committee announce Team Canada class of 2020-2022

Toronto/Kingston, Ont. – Today, Smith School of Business and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) announced that 11 Team Canada athletes are returning to school to build their business skills after years of competitive sport.
