Early career Gilles began learning to skate in 1994. Following the event, they were named to the
2026 Winter Olympic team. On 6 February, Gilles and Poirier competed their Rhythm Dance at the
2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event where they finished fourth with a new season's best score of 85.79. “I think we feel really good,” said Poirier. “It was so nice to be back on the Olympic ice finally. We are so excited to be here. We have so much energy from the crowd. It felt really special, really felt like the Olympics in the best way possible, and that just made it such a pleasure and fun today.” Five days later, Gilles and Poirier took the bronze at the
2026 Winter Olympics after placing third in both the segments of the event. “This bronze medal means everything to us and our team, after 15 long years of journey,” said Gilles. “Paul and I have chosen time and time again to continue, to show people who we are on and off the ice. We feel these raw emotions that people can truly connect with, seeing a piece of themselves in action. It truly means everything.” Days before the
2026 World Championships, it was announced that Gilles and Poirier had elected to return to the
Wuthering Heights free dance that they previously used two seasons prior. They placed second in this event behind France's
Laurence Fournier Beaudry and
Guillaume Cizeron, earning their fifth world medal. == Programs ==
