I found it interesting that despite all the controversy about CD's and whether they should be eliminated, they did manage to run a Finnstep CD competition. Maxwell and Traxler won it!

Hooray for Summerset/Gilles winning the senior Cd over Crone/Poirier.

Sylvia do you know which CD was CD1 and which CD2? I'm assuming it was Paso Doble and Viennese Waltz.

Strictly speaking, each team won one CD,but S/G had the higher combined score.

Yes, CD1 was the Paso Doble (won by C/P) and CD2 was the Viennese Waltz (won by S/G), according to this article by Alexandra Stevenson: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080731&content_id=49820&vkey=ice_news

Not really surprising when you consider there is no difference in the requirements in the junior and senior OD ( but huges differences in the CD and FD) . Doing senior OD won't affect the JGP preparations but it will give them exposure to competing against higher quality opposition which can only be a good thing.

Here's the link to ice-dance.com's index of video blogs (skater interviews): http://www.viddler.com/explore/icedancecom/videos/

The official results page has all results through today except for the last 2 events (Intermediate and Juvenile Free Dance): http://www.lakeplacidskating.com/newsite/competitions/ice_dance/08results.php
The "Junior Compulsory Championship Round" results link is currently wrong -- the correct link is:
http://www.lakeplacidskating.com/newsite/competitions/ice_dance/08results/jr_champ.php

Ice-dance.com has a plethora of competition and practice photos (and is supplying Icenetwork with action shots): http://photography.ice-dance.com/2008LakePlacidIDC/

Daily event summary articles and photo galleries are linked from Icenetwork's event page: http://web.icenetwork.com/events/detail.jsp?id=50528

Piper Gilles/Zachary Donohue, a new dream team?

"We've only been skating together for eight weeks, so we're delighted," said Donahue, who was a latecomer to the world of ice, taking up the sport when he was 10. He has only been in ice dancing for four years.

They looked great but I can't say it was a real competition since they competed against the teams half their ages, they're juvenile and intermediate teams. I guess they were there to demonstrate the dance?.
