I watched SEIMEI and immediately transcend to Planet Hanyu.

The japanese music instruments, the drums, the iconic pose, the costume, the hydroblade. Text book perfect. Out of this world.

Planet Earth, what?

Deanna Stellato-Dudek: 2000 Junior World Silver Medalist → 2024 World Champion

At the age of 40, Deanna Stellato-Dudek is the oldest woman to win a World Championships title in figure skating, with her pairs partner Maxime Deschamps for Canada. Deanna Stellato was the 1999 Junior Grand Prix Final Champion and 2000 Junior World Silver Medalist in the women's singles discipline. She retired from competitive skating in 2001, and returned as a pairs skater in 2016.

40 years is the new 20. That's what I'd like to say. [This record is] not something that I ever set out to do when I came back to skating, but I knew that if I were to accomplish my dreams, it would inevitably occur, because I'm the oldest everywhere. But it's something I carry with pride, and I'm very proud of it. I hope a lot of athletes stay around a lot longer. I hope it encourages people to not stop before they reach their potential. And I hope it transcends into other areas, not just in sports, but also in other areas of life [...] [My 15-year-old self] would say, why did we stop? We're still skating, you know, 25 years later? I think my younger self would think I'm crazy, so she wouldn't think much of it at all. And she wanted to win the 2006 Olympics [...]

“As president of the Scott Moir fan club, I could go on about his innate talent, musicality, passion, drive, commitment, work ethic. Truly, the list is so long cause he is the best in every way.”

“From her ability to move and create brilliant choreography to her athleticism and near perfect technique, she’s the greatest skater I’ve ever seen. Her brilliance is evident in everything she does and she is ruthlessly competitive. Those are some of my favourite traits but they don’t come close to the fire that lit within me when we skated together. Our eyes would meet on the ice and it would take us to another world.”

— Tessa and Scott on each other, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame 2023

In 2000, Deanna Stellato Dudek competed at Skate Canada for her first senior season as a single skater.

She finished fifth. The podium was Irina Slutskaya, Michelle Kwan and Fumie Sugiri.

The pairs event meanwhile had Sale/Pelletier win gold ahead of Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze and Petrova/Tikhonov. Also competing were Pang/Tong, and Aljona Savchenko when she was still skating for Ukraine.

And yesterday she became the 2023 Skate Canada pairs champion.
