[edit] Biography

Dubreuil was born in Montreal, Quebec. She began skating with Lauzon in 1995.

The pair has captured the gold medal at the Canadian National Championships four times and competed at the Winter Olympics twice. However, they had to withdraw from the 2006 Winter Olympics after she suffered an injury from a fall during a lift attempt at the end of a program that required Lauzon to carry her off the ice afterwards. They recovered to win the silver medal at the 2006 World Championships in Calgary. They started out the next season strongly by winning the Skate Canada and NHK Trophy events, qualifying them for the Grand Prix Final. They ended up with a silver medal in the Grand Prix Final and ended their season on a strong note, capturing their second consecutive silver medal at the 2007 World Championships.

Dubreuil & Lauzon took the 2007-2008 season off and skated in ice shows. They announced their retirement from competitive skating on May 20, 2008.[1]
