Alexandra Paul (figure skater)

With her skating partner and eventual husband, Mitchell Islam, she won the silver medal at the 2010 World Junior Championships.

She then began looking for a new partner and had a successful tryout in February 2009 with Mitchell Islam, a fellow skater at the Mariposa School of Skating in Barrie, Ontario.

They withdrew before the free dance at 2011 NHK Trophy after placing seventh in the short—Paul suffered a cut to the back of the thigh in a collision with Italy's Lorenza Alessandrini and Simone Vaturi during the morning practice on November 12.

[10] In June 2012, Paul and Islam decided to train full-time at the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

[14] After winning the bronze medal at the 2014 Canadian Championships, they were assigned to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where they placed 18th.

A few weeks later, they changed coaches, joining Marie-France Dubreuil, Patrice Lauzon, and Romain Haguenauer at the Gadbois Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

[22] Paul was with her baby when the transport truck entered a construction zone on Country Road 124 in Melancthon Township and crashed into a lineup of stopped cars.

[25] Tribute was paid to Paul at the 2023 Skate Canada International, where all the flower girls were dressed in versions of her 2014 Olympic free dance costume.
