1 Vanessa CRONE / Paul POIRIER CAN
OD-Flamenco

Vanessa and Paul competed this OD at Thornhill. The video was taken down later, however. They are skating that well known Canadian folk dance, the flamenco here. :biggrin: At least 3 or 4 teams at Canadian nationals will also be skating to flamenco.

2 Lucie MYSLIVECKOVA / Matej NOVAK CZE
OD-Finnish Polka (probably Ieva's polka & Lehti. During an interview, M&N said this year's OD is a reworking of their 2007/2008 OD)

Here's their 2007/2008 OD in practice. Lucie and Matej skated their OD in Nebelhorn, but there are no videos of it that I found:

OD-Das Kufsteiner Lied (Die Perle Tirols); Mei Vatta i a Apenzeller (German folk)

From the Thornhill Summer Skate (now, no lie, called Figure Skating Boutique :laugh::

1 Vanessa Crone/Paul Poirier 56.04
4 Katherine Copely/Deividas Stagniunas 40.68

I haven't found any scores for Capellini & Lanotte's OD for this season.
The rules are quite a bit different this year, so scores are not at all comparable; however, C&L scored 56.33 at last year's worlds in the OD, while C&P scored 54.75 there.

I expect to see the competition for 2nd and 3rd place in the OD be very close between these 2 up and coming teams.

Davis and White OD is a little gem. Meryl has improved tremendously, but I still find their postures somewhat iffy.

Capellini/Lanotte's program felt very uninteresting at first sight, but it passed very quickly.

Davis and White made some changes in the OD! I always look forward to how their programs evolve over the season. Good job Meryl and Charlie. No repeat of CoR last season.

Oy, Paul's pants.

Should the waist really be that high? If he keeps the pants, maybe he should lose the coat. This is flamenco, right? I think in Spanish-style dances the attitude in the man's back should be highlighted. Can't see that with the coat and the high-waist pants. Change the color to something darker? A more fitted look?
