Edmonton’s Vaughn Chipeur has announced his retirement from competitive figure skating. The 25-year-old skater, a two-time Canadian sliver medallist in men’s singles, competed at the 2009 world championships and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He will continue to skate as a professional, performing in shows across Canada over the summer before joining the lineup on a cruise ship in the fall. In announcing his decision, Chipeur thanked the skating community for its support. “Without many of you I would never have had the opportunities or experiences that I have been so fortunate to have,” he said in a release Thursday. Chipeur was ranked second among Canadian men, behind world silver medallist Patrick Chan.
