}} Bryce Davison (born January 29, 1986 in Walnut Creek, California) is an American-Canadian pair skater. With former partner Jessica Dubé, he is a three-time (2007, 2009, 2010) Canadian national champion, the 2008 World bronze medalist and the 2009 Four Continents silver medalist. They represented Canada at the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics. == Career == Davison began skating at age six.〔 He competed with Jessie McNeil at the pre-novice〔 and juvenile levels. They were the 2000 Canadian Juvenile national champions.〔 He later competed with Claire Daugulis on the novice and junior levels. Davison teamed up with Jessica Dubé in July 2003.〔 The two had a successful junior career before moving up to the senior level in 2005–06. They placed 10th at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games and 7th at the World Championships that same season. In the summer of 2006, Dubé suffered an injury in practice and was removed from the ice on a backboard; she had knee surgery in September. They won their first national crown in Nova Scotia at the 2007 Canadian Championships. After an on-ice accident at the 2007 Four Continents (see below), they made a comeback a month later at the World Championships, where they again finished seventh. Dube and Davison had a breakthrough season in 2007–08. They won their first Grand Prix medals, including a gold at 2007 Skate America. They lost the national title to Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay at the 2008 Canadian Championships, but two months later at the World Championships, they won the bronze medal after finishing second in the long program;〔 they set personal best scores in each segment of the event and overall. The next two seasons did not prove as successful, and while they regained and then defended their national title, the pair were unable to repeat their success at the World Championships. Their top placement during this time was a second place finish at the 2009 Four Continents Championships. Dube and Davison were part of Team Canada at the inaugural World Team Trophy in April 2009. In the 2009–10 Olympic season, they medalled at both Grand Prix events but did not qualify for the Grand Prix final. They were sixth at the Olympics and at Worlds. Davison suffers from osteochondritis dissecans,〔 which led to his sustaining a serious knee injury in practice in October 2010, forcing the pair to withdraw from the 2010 Skate Canada International.〔〔 He underwent season-ending surgery to reattach a broken piece of bone.〔〔 The recovery period was estimated at 18 months.〔 Dubé and Davison announced the end of their partnership on March 10, 2011.〔 He had felt they needed to make changes but Dubé was unwilling and suggested parting ways.〔 Davison left open the possibility that he might continue skating if he finds the right partner.〔 In July, it was reported that Davison had completed his Level I Coaching Certification and would begin coaching young skaters in Hamilton, Ontario.〔〔 At the time, Davison said he might compete again,〔 but in December 2011, he confirmed that he had retired from competition.〔 He is the director of skater development at the Hamilton Skating Club.〔 Davison competed in singles until 2007. He is a member of the Hamilton Skating Club in Hamilton, Ontario.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryce Davison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
