Canadian Armenian Tina Garabedian to represent Armenia in 2018 Olympics –
LAVAL – Laval’s 18-year-old Tina Garabedian who has been skating with the Laval Figure Skating Club, since she was four, will be wearing the colours of Armenia in the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Garabedian, holding dual citizenship, realized she had a small chance of representing Canada’s national team in 2018 given the strength of the Canadian team in the figure skating world. She put all the odds in her favour and will represent Armenia.
Her debut ice dance was with her long-standing partner Alexandre Laliberté in 2012. Garabedian changed partners six months ago and will ice dance with Simon Proulx-Senecal, former dance partner to Laval’s Mélissande Dumas.
The duo recently took home a bronze medal in the short program, senior dance at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships in New York.
