Cody Hay's Skating Journey
Cody Hay started skating with Annabelle Langlois in 2005. They quickly showed promise as a pair. In 2006, they finished in 4th place at the 2006 Skate America competition.
Early Competitions and Challenges
Their journey had some challenges. They had to withdraw from the 2006 Cup of Russia because the airline lost Langlois' skates. This meant they couldn't compete.
In 2007, Langlois and Hay won a bronze medal at the 2007 Canadian Figure Skating Championships. This achievement earned them a spot on their first World Championships team. They competed at the 2007 World Figure Skating Championships in Tokyo, Japan, where they placed 10th.
Becoming Canadian Champions
The 2007–08 season was a big one for the pair. They competed at Skate Canada and 2007 NHK Trophy. Then, they won their first national title at the 2008 Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Vancouver, British Columbia. This was a huge success for them.
After winning the Canadian title, they went on to the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships in Sweden. There, they improved their previous world ranking by placing 8th.
Overcoming Injuries
In July 2008, Langlois suffered a serious injury during practice. She broke a bone in her lower right leg and needed surgery. This injury forced them to withdraw from two major events, the 2008 Skate Canada International and 2008 NHK Trophy.
Langlois worked hard to recover. She returned to training a few months later. However, she faced more issues with her ankle. This led them to withdraw from the 2009 Canadian Figure Skating Championships. She had another surgery in February 2009 to remove metal parts from her ankle. Because of her recovery, they also missed the 2009 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships and the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships.
Return to the Ice and Olympics
Langlois and Hay made their return to international competition at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany. They also competed in the Grand Prix circuit again, placing 4th at Skate Canada 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 in 9th place.
Retirement from Competition
On May 21, 2010, Langlois and Hay announced that they were ending their skating partnership. Langlois decided to retire from competitive skating. Cody Hay officially retired from competing in September 2011. He then began a new career as a figure skating coach, working alongside Anabelle Langlois.
