The University of Toronto Varsity Blues figure skating team claimed overall silver on Wednesday (Mar. 5) at the 2025 OUA Figure Skating Championship, hosted by Toronto Metropolitan University inside the Mattamy Athletic Centre.

The provincial medal marks a ninth consecutive season the Blues have finished on the overall podium, matching their effort of a second-place finish from a year ago. Toronto earned 98 total points during the two-day provincial showcase, capturing 11 total medals, including five golds. Western defended their championship, capturing the overall team title for a third straight season with 103 total points.

Each adding more individual medals to their career totals, both third-year standout Gabriella Guo and fifth-year veteran Hugo Li were once again exceptional performers for the Blues at the 2025 edition of the provincial championship. Together the pair took gold in the Senior Pair Freeskate, before joining teammates Lara Zeldovich and Victoria Bocknek for bronze in the Fours Freeskate. Guo added another gold medal in the Novice Short Program, while Li grabbed gold with partner Katelyn Pavlidis in the Star 8-9 Dance and silver in the Open Men's Freeskate.
