Patrick Chan, Joannie Rochette (please let her continue competing) and Cynthia Phaneuf (who I am very proud of for her tenacity in her comeback), Virtue & Moir and Crone & Poirier ... pairs, I'm not sure, need to see how some of our new teams are doing ...

and, every skater who has the guts and drive to stay in this sport regardless of challenges and roadblocks.

 88) 88) 88), Yes I AM CANADIAN!

I will second Schultheiss and in particular Berntsson; very happy the latter has decided to compete this year. I still replay his routine with the "attacking hand" from a couple of years ago on Youtube - I really enjoy his inventiveness.
