I find that too depressing.:disapp:
All Things Ice Dance: Canadian
- Thread starter colleen o'neill
- Start date
Basically this means that Paul/Islam will need to rock nationals this year and come in a solid third. The disadvantage of not having a GP assignment will obviously hurt them unless they get a Skate Canada assignment. And them training in isolation is not ideal. It will be interesting to see how C/S develop and that their have D/L as their coaches - cannot hurt them. I wonder what type of spin we will hear from Skate Canada...oieee...gosh things are definitely getting crowded in ice dance...I just hope for nationals that we get all competitors skate during the same session and none of this ridiculous split sessions....

I just read a tweet on IN from Piper Giles. She said that she has been released by the USFA and will be skating for Canada with Paul Poirer. I hope this is the right place to put

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know whether Piper will be able to get Canadian Citizenship in time so she could go to the Olympics in 2014?

Yes. Weaver got it within three years.

Her mom's parents are Canadians. Basically, they just have to decide to get the paperwork done
I seem to remember reading an interview with Piper (sometime in the last few months) in which she said her mother would be receiving her Canadian citizenship shortly, then Piper herself could get hers not long after. No specific dates were mentioned, though.

Yes, that's what I remember, but I couldn't find the interview.
Found it.

"My grandmother is Canadian and I have family in Sarnia. My mother is in the middle of getting her passport and once that happens, I will be applying for my Canadian citizenship," Gilles says. "I would be proud to represent Canada and already feel part-Canadian."

I believe it has; I'm sad to hear it.
That's a shame. What will they be doing next, do you know?
Keith studed in a university dance program and was successful in many forms of dance, including ballet. His lines, posture, frame, etc. are wonderful.

I'm unsure about Keith, but Tara has begun work in the BC/YT Section office. I'm not sure of her official role, but believe it's part time doing various things here and there - some work with athletes, some in the office, etc.

Tarrah also is co-author of a food blog with an emphasis on healthy eating. (I will refrain from posting a link, in case it would be against GS rules.)
One of the blog's "About" pages features a photo of H/G performing on the ice and says:

So, as reported on FSU, Paul and Islam have tweeted that they are at DSC "for the summer". Perhaps this will work into an ongoing arrangement ?
I'm very pleased for them , and think it's about the best thing they could have done ..even if it remains a part-time arrangement, it will be very beneficial to them to train in that environment, I'm sure ( but my fingers are crossed it will work into something more permanent ). It's exactly what I was hoping for them ; to have all the resources they need in one place and be able to train with other elite teams.
After the devastating year they just had , they couldn't be around better role models than W/P to build grit , determination and confidence ,and the DSC technical staff is fabulous.

I hope they will be working on their SD most this summer with Annenko & Punsalan-the DSC group has done a great job with their teams with the SDs, for sure.
And working with P&B and W&P will surely be inspiring.

doris..yeah, they have done really well with the SD's haven't they ? I was wondering how well P/I would do with the Yankee Polka , but they should be in good hands at DSC.
I know they said their FD would be to music from the Legend of 1900 , but I don't know whose choreo they'll have.
