The Duchesnays

I wanted to post this before I forgot. I was watching a lot of ice dance this weekend and dug up this classic routine. It is probably my all time favourite.

Sorry I am not clever enough to post the video right in the blog entry.
Some thoughts:

• Is 'driving' the woman around by her ankle a required element, or just a Duchesnay thing?
• Love the way the tempo builds over the course of the routine
• This made me notice how different ice dance looks now. I'm not sure what is better. But it's all better than the steamy lying-around-on-the-ice stuff that the Russians were winning all the medals with back in this era.
• They look totally zonked at the end.
