Trophée Eric Bompard standings uncertain after Paris attacks

In the wake of Friday's attacks, the International Skating Union cancelled the remainder of the Trophée Eric Bompard, which was taking place in Bordeaux, France, about five hours from Paris.

Winners of the event have not been determined, but, according to Skate Canada, the standings after the short program have been proposed as an option. 

The ISU council will reportedly make a decision in the near future regarding the results of this stop on the Grand Prix of Figure Skating circuit. 

Below, you can see where each Canadian sat after Friday's short programs:

Chan falters in short program

Toronto's Patrick Chan was fifth after scoring a 76.10 on Friday in the men's short program.

"It was a shaky opening popping the quad," said Chan, the gold medallist at Skate Canada two weeks ago. "I had a little bit of hesitation. All practices here had been really good but in the moment of pressure and expectations I kind of rushed through it and didn't commit to every part of it."

Chan says he is pleased with his progress so far after sitting out all of last season.

"All the mistakes I made at Skate Canada were successful here so you win some and lose some. That's what the Grand Prix season is about and mistakes are usually to be expected."

Japan's Shoma Uno sat first with 89.56 points, followed by Russia's Maxim Kovtun (86.82) and Japan's Daisuke Murakami (80.24).

Trophée Eric Bompard has been one of Chan's strongest Grand Prix of Figure Skating stops throughout his career.

The three-time figure skating world champion recorded his personal best scores in the short program and free skate at the 2013 event, setting the world record for free skate and combined total that year.

Gilles and Poirier in second

Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Toronto were in second place after Friday's short dance.

Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the U.S. were first at 64.45 while Gilles and Poirier followed a score of 63.94, their best of the season. Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin of Russia were third at 60.64.

"We couldn't be happier, we are in striking distance of first place," said Poirier, third with his partner three weeks ago at Skate America. "We increased our scores in several areas and there are still a few levels we can improve."
The couple feel they are ahead of last year's pace.

"We took the last couple of weeks to really iron out a lot of small details. That's a part of the process we were not yet doing at this point last season," added Gilles.

Gracie Gold nearly flawless 

Gracie Gold took the lead at the Trophée Eric Bompard on Friday, scoring a personal-best 73.32 points in an almost flawless short program to the popular tango song El Choclo at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating event in Bordeaux, France.

Gold improved her previous best by 2.06 points to build a comfortable lead of 7.69 points over Russian Julia Lipnitskaia heading into the free skating.

Wearing an elegant black dress with a red lining, the 20-year-old American landed a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination at the Meriadeck ice rink.

Gold is looking for another podium finish after her second place at Skate America last month in the seven-event Grand Prix series.

Italian Roberta Rodeghiero was third with 58.81 points and world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva had 56.21 points for fifth place.

Canadian Gabrielle Daleman sits sixth with a score of 55.35. 

Pairs team of Seguin, Bilodeau set PB

In pairs, first-year seniors Julianne Séguin of Longueuil, Que., and Charlie Bilodeau of Trois-Pistoles, Que., produced a personal best 64.95 to stand third after the short program. Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia led with 74.50 and Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres of France were second at 65.75.

"It was really satisfying for us to increase the level of the entire program," said Séguin, third with her partner at Skate America. ''There were a lot of technical elements in particular we needed to improve such as the spiral for which we increased to a level three.''
