1 Vanessa CRONE / Paul POIRIER CAN

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. 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:

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