Deanna competed in the last Golden Age of skating against the very best the sport has to offer and still competing and winning. Proving age is only a number.Truly inspirational.

This is an incredible story for Both. First Maxime after 8 partners he finally found one to take him to the next level. He is 32 considered older in the sport Second Deanna. Retired early at age 17. Now at age 40 nearly 41 she makes history. In this sport this is unheard of. With this I just turned 40 myself and it is inspiring. It makes me think can I acheive goals. Inspirations not to give up and never too late

What a beautifull story and great life lesson!!! When I think that when a skater is over 25 they treat him as old (for skating) and they start talking about his retirement... age is really relative as this duo proves, Deanna must now be 40 years old and she and Maxime have just won their first gold medal of the 2023/2024 season, I wish them many more!!!!

what a great story on so many levels- for women- in skating they are so harsly 'aged out' even when they are still competitive- Deanna accomplishing this is going to open the doors for many, many skaters
