About the program
Dawn of Faith by Eternal Eclipse won the Skate Canada free skate for Pereira and Michaud with 125.11, giving them their second Grand Prix title on 202.17 points.
It opened with a level-4 twist. The jumps were messy: Michaud turned out the first jump of the triple toe-double Axel sequence and stepped out of the triple Salchows. The throw flip and throw loop were solid, and the death spiral and both lifts reached level 4. Michaud said, "We really connect with both of these programs."
Fans on r/FigureSkating liked the transitions and could see ice dancers' hands in the choreography. They called the jumps shaky, and some thought Vouillamoz and Bouvart deserved the free skate.
