- Madeline Schizas admitted to feeling some pressure this week as the defending Canadian champion. The 19-year-old from Oakville, Ont., who was the last woman to skate Saturday at the Tribute Communities Centre, held off the hard-charging Kaiya Ruiter to win her second national figure skating title. And Deanna Stellato-Dudek battled through a nagging virus to win the pairs event with Maxime Deschamps. “I landed on my skate blade, and it went through and cut two of my calf muscles,” Ruiter said. “I don’t know the word right now perfectly to describe what it’s feeling right now.”The men’s singles free program was the final event Saturday.
