Cody Hay's Skating Journey
Cody Hay started skating with Anabelle Langlois in 2005. They quickly showed their talent. In 2006, they finished 4th at the 2006 Skate America competition.
Early Challenges and Success
Their journey wasn't always smooth. At the 2006 Cup of Russia, they had to stop competing. This happened because the airline lost Anabelle's skates!
Despite this, they kept going. In 2007, Langlois and Hay won a bronze medal at the 2007 Canadian Figure Skating Championships. This big win meant they were chosen to compete at their first World Championships. They placed 10th at the 2007 World Figure Skating Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
Becoming National Champions
The 2007–2008 season was a great one for the pair. They competed at Skate Canada and NHK Trophy. Then, they achieved a huge goal. They won their first national title at the 2008 Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Vancouver, British Columbia.
After becoming Canadian champions, they went to the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships in Sweden. There, they improved their world ranking, finishing in 8th place.
Overcoming Injuries
In July 2008, Anabelle Langlois had a serious injury. She broke a bone in her lower right leg during practice. She needed surgery and had screws and a metal plate put into her ankle. Because of this, they had to miss two big competitions, the 2008 Skate Canada International and 2008 NHK Trophy.
Anabelle tried to return to training, but she had more problems with her ankle. She needed another surgery in February 2009 to remove the metal parts. This meant they had to miss the entire 2008–2009 skating season.
Return to Competition and Olympics
Langlois and Hay made their comeback at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany. They were back on the Grand Prix circuit in November 2009. They placed 4th at 2009 Skate Canada International in Kitchener, Ontario.
At the 2010 Canadian Figure Skating Championships in London, Ontario, they won the silver medal. This earned them a spot on the Canadian Olympic team! They competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they finished 9th.
Retirement and Coaching
On May 21, 2010, Langlois and Hay announced they were ending their skating partnership. Anabelle decided to retire from competing.
Cody Hay also retired from competitive skating in September 2011. He then started a new career as a coach, working alongside Anabelle Langlois.
