Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier CAN (ISU Ranked 9th)
Coach: Carol Lane, Juris Razguliaevs, Jon Lane
Choreographer: Christopher Dean
FD Eleanor Rigby by Lennon and McCartney, performed by Joshua Bell
Crone and Poirier have not competed the FD this summer. Although Eleanor Rigby is not the workhorse that, say Carmen, is, it has been used in good programs in the past. Dean did a program to Eleanor Rigby for the Duchesnays in 1988/1989. Also Davis and White used Eleanor Rigby for the 2007/2008 season. I wonder how this program will compare, especially to the Duchesnays' program.
Short Dance Results.

I'm going with something wrong with my feed
I think it was better than what I was seeing on the computer.
cool ending though
Vanessa and Paul were brilliant! I am really impressed with them at this competition! I took notice of them at 2010 Worlds, but this event has made me fall in love with them!
Chock/Zuerlein - LOVE this program; I also like it is very different than SD; he needs to watch his posture, but really like the presentation with some good technical execution; almost forget to look at those great edges on the footwork, cool lifts etc since you look at the presentation.
Sinead Kerr and John Kerr GBR (ISU Ranked 3rd)
Coach: Evgeni Platov
Choreographer: Evgeni Platov, Robert Royston
FD Exogenesis: Symphony Pt 3 Redemption by Muse
The Kerrs have not competed their FD this summer. However, this is the third season that they have used a program by Muse in a row. Perhaps third time will be the charm.
