Chantal Lefebvre (born June 5, 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian retired competitive ice dancer. With Michel Brunet, she is the 1999 Four Continents silver medalist and four-time Canadian silver medalist. With Justin Lanning, she is the 2000 Nebelhorn Trophy champion.

Career

Early in her career, she skated with Patrice Lauzon. From 1995 to 1999, she competed with Michel Brunet with whom she competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics, placing 19th. They won silver at the 1999 Four Continents, in addition to four Canadian national silver medals. Brunet retired from competition in 1999.[1]

Lefebvre teamed up with Justin Lanning in October 1999.[1] They won gold at the 2000 Nebelhorn Trophy and bronze at the 2001 Finlandia Trophy.[1] They were coached by Kelly Johnson, David Islam, and Pavol Porac.[1]

Lefebvre teamed up with Arseni Markov in 2003.[2] However, Markov was unable to compete internationally for Canada until 2005 because ISU regulations require a two year wait when changing countries (sometimes called country hopping).[3] Lefebvre and Markov placed 4th at the 2006 Four Continents and won two Canadian national bronze medals. After the 2005–06 season, they changed coaches from Nikolai Morozov and Shae-Lynn Bourne to Elise Hamel and Tyler Myles.[3] Lefebvre and Markov announced their retirement from competitive skating on July 20, 2007.[4] They intended to coach and choreograph.[4]
