Bryce Davison (born January 29, 1986 in Walnut Creek , California , USA ) is a Canadian figure skater who starts in pair skating .

Davison started figure skating at the age of six. He competes for the Hamilton Skating Club. From 2003 he formed a couple with Jessica Dubé . In 2004 they became Canadian junior champions and in 2004 and 2005 vice junior world champions . They made their senior debut in a major tournament at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin , finishing in tenth place. At their first world championship they finished seventh a little later. In 2007, 2009 and 2010 they became Canadian champions. Her greatest success was winning the bronze medal at the 2008 World Championships in Gothenburg behind Aljona Sawtschenko and Robin Szolkowy as well as the Chinese Dan Zhang and Hao Zhang . In 2009 they won the silver medal at the Four Continents Championships in Vancouver behind Pang Qing and Tong Jian . The 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver finished sixth. The couple's trainer is Annie Barabé .

The couple have suffered numerous injuries and incidents throughout their careers. In the freestyle at the Four Continents Championship in 2007, Davison met his partner in a pirouette with his skate in the face. She fell on it and hit her face on the ice while a pool of blood formed. She was operated on that same night and sewn with 83 stitches. Both Davison and Dubé were then treated for post-traumatic stress disorder . In April 2009, Davison failed to catch his partner in a triple twist lift. Dubé remained motionless on the ice before she was taken to the hospital. Davison suffers from osteochondrosis dissecans , which became a serious knee injury and for which he underwent surgery in 2010. Therefore, the couple will not contest the entire 2010/11 season.
