Skate Canada 2000

Now it's down to business.  Gwendal is wearing a black cutaway tuxedo, with tails.  Marina is wearing the dress from one of the Compulsory Dances in 1998.

They begin with Nat King Coles "More".

I believe this is the end of the Foxtrot portion of the OD.

Here they begin the Quickstep.  This is to the song "Dancing Fool".

I wonder if this dance is as much fun to do as it is to watch.

This is the final position for the OD

After their music was finished they continued to work on some elements.

You know, for a moment, I thought they may have been posing for me.   Turns out they were just getting into position to stroke around the rink.   That's ok, I'll take the picture anyway.

They even looked fantastic when they're just doing crossovers!

After they were done their practice they stopped at the rail to sign some autographs for their fans (as you can probably tell by Gwendals dress, it was warmer in the rink today than in previous days). 

Do these costumes look familiar.....
This is the Japanese couple of Rie Arikawa and Kenji Miyamoto.   This couple is also couched by MBZ.
