Personal life

Julianne Séguin was born on November 7, 1996 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] She studied at a Boucherville high school in a Sports-études program.[2]

Single skating

Séguin began skating at age five or six.[3][4]

As a single skater, Séguin won the junior bronze medal at the 2012 Canadian Championships and began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in autumn 2012. After placing sixth on the senior level at the 2013 Canadians, she was assigned to the 2013 Four Continents Championships and finished 11th in her senior international debut.

Séguin was assigned to represent Canada in ladies' singles at the 2014 World Junior Championships.[5] She withdrew after sustaining a back injury in practice.[6] The following season, she won the bronze medal at an ISU Challenger Series event, the 2014 Skate Canada Autumn Classic.

Pair skating

Séguin began competing with Andrew Evans in around 2011. In January 2012, they competed on the senior level at the Canadian Championships and placed ninth.

Séguin teamed up with Charlie Bilodeau in November 2012.[7] They train in Chambly, Quebec.[8]

2013–14 season

Séguin/Bilodeau debuted internationally in autumn 2013. Competing in the 2013–14 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, they placed fourth in the Czech Republic and fifth in Belarus. They won the junior silver medal at the 2014 Canadian Championships and were assigned to represent Canada at the 2014 World Junior Championships.[3][5] The pair withdrew due to Séguin's back injury.[6][9]

2014–15 season

During the 2014 JGP series, Séguin/Bilodeau outscored Russia's Lina Fedorova / Maxim Miroshkin for the gold medal in Ostrava, Czech Republic.[8] Upon winning another gold in Dresden, Germany, the pair qualified for the JGP Final. At the latter event, held in December 2014 in Barcelona, they placed first in both segments and won the gold medal by a margin of 9.79 points over Fedorova/Miroshkin. In January 2015, Séguin/Bilodeau took the senior bronze medal at the Canadian Championships and were named in Canada's teams to the junior and senior World Championships. In February, they were awarded the silver medal at Junior Worlds in Tallinn, Estonia, having placed second to China's Yu Xiaoyu / Jin Yang. In March, they ranked tenth in both segments and finished eighth overall at the World Championships in Shanghai, China.

2015–16 season

Séguin/Bilodeau won silver at the 2016 Canadian Nationals. They withdrew from the 2016 Four Continents due to a minor injury to Séguin.[10] They later withdrew from 2016 Worlds as well, stating that the injury was not fully healed and they had missed many practices.[11]
