Career

Canac competed internationally as a single skater, and her highest placement was fourth at the 2004 Triglav Trophy. She was eighth at the 2006 French Figure Skating Championships.
In 2005, Canac began practicing one hour a day with pair skater Maximin Coia and she switched to pairs completely in July 2006.[1] They were the 2008 French national champions, but were forced to miss the European Championships after she broke her sternum.[2] They returned in time for the 2008 Worlds, where they placed 14th. They again won the French national championships and were the highest placed French team at the 2009 Europeans, finishing ninth. They did not compete at that season's Worlds.
In the 2009–10 Olympic season, Canac and Coia finished second in 2010 and were tenth at the 2010 Europeans, three places behind the top French pair, Vanessa James and Yannick Bonheur. As a result, Canac and Coia were not selected to represent France at the 2010 Winter Olympics and at 2010 Worlds. They ended their partnership soon after.
In spring 2010,[3] Canac began skating with Yannick Bonheur, who by then was no longer paired with James. Canac and Bonheur's first competition together was the 2010 Master's de Patinage, which they won. They went on to win bronze at the 2010 NRW Trophy and claimed their first national title together in December 2010. They then finished 9th at their first Europeans together and 18th at Worlds. In July 2011, it was reported that Canac and Bonheur had split, and she had ended her competitive career in order to pursue academic studies.[3][4]
