Paige Lawrence, whose parents own a rodeo production company in Kipling, Saskatchewan, didn't set out to be a pairs skater. She actually competed in barrel racing as a youngster. But partner Rudi Sweigers found a way to get her into pairs. MORE

Gsk8 and Barry Mittan have outdone themselves on this one.

Didn't Kurt Browning also grow up on a ranch in Saskatchewan?

"I liked the feeling of being thrown..."

...by her skating partner, that is, as opposed to her horse.

Sweigers, 20, started to skate after his family moved to Canada from South Africa in order for his mother to practice medicine in Saskatoon and then Kipling.

I wonder if they are eligible to skate for South Africa if they don't make the Canadian world team.

Kurt is actually from Caroline, Alberta. I love this article - raised in Saskatchewan and train, live, and go to school in Manitoba. True prarie kids!!
