Kitchener, Ont. -- Canada's figure skaters added a gold and a bronze to total four medals at the HomeSense Skate Canada International Grand Prix competition, Sunday.

Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue earned a season's best score for their free dance to take the gold, while Waterloo, Ontario's Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje also skated a season's best to earn the bronze.

Moir, of Ilderton, Ont., and Virtue, of London, Ont., scored a season's best 103.12 points for their skate to Symphony No. 5, ending the competition with a 204.38 total score - and securing first place by almost 20 points.

After Virtue slipped twice during Saturday's program, both she and Moir were relieved when Sunday's skate went off without a hitch. With the win, they also reserved their ticket to next month's Grand Prix final in Tokyo.

"I think yesterday was a great lesson for us and we kind of built off that today and we're going to continue to build off that in the weeks to come," Moir said.

Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat of France earned silver with 185.07 points after receiving the second-highest score for their free dance to Requiem for a Dream.

Five months after American-born Weaver became a Canadian citizen in June, she and Poje skated in front of a home crowd to earn bronze with 165.64.

On Saturday, Joannie Rochette of Ile-Dupas, Que., won the ladies' competition, while Jessica Dubé, from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Que., and Bryce Davison, from Huntsville, Ont., earned bronze in pairs.

Toronto's Patrick Chan showed some rust in his season debut, finishing sixth in men's singles.

Virtue and Moir were fired up after their disappointing Saturday skate. Determined to deliver a solid free program, they performed their elements - including the pair's signature straight line lift - with barely a wobble. 

In Moir and Virtue's most famous maneuver, Virtue's shin balances precariously on Moir's back.

It's called 'the Goose.' We called it that because people were calling it 'the Eagle' and we didn't want it to be too American so we changed it," Moir joked, after their skate. "It was kind of our inside joke but now I'm sharing it with everyone."

It was a move that was difficult to master, with Moir and Virtue working on it for the better part of two years. After performing it last year during a season shortened due to injury, Moir joked that Virtue should "do a 360" jump on her descent back to the ice. Virtue liked the idea, and at Skate Canada, her in-air spin drew cheers from the crowd.

"Tessa and I really pride ourselves on doing different things and really doing moves that are our own," Moir said, "They are tricky lifts but we wouldn't have it any other way and we're always willing and excited to push ourselves with innovative lifts.

"It's funny, people always ask me if it hurts my leg or if she cuts my leg or, 'man, you must be tough to be down in that position,'" Moir said, "But I don't do much, it's all her."

"And you're tough," added Virtue.

"And I'm pretty tough, too." Moir agreed.
