1 Anabelle Langlois / Cody Hay - 65.47
2 Jessica Dubé / Bryce Davison - 62.87
3 Meagan Duhamel / Craig Buntin - 62.38
4 Mylène Brodeur / John Mattatall - 60.33
5 Paige Lawrence / Rudi Swiegers - 58.22

Good that Anabelle & Cody are back so strong after Anabelle's injury ... but not a good start for Jess & Bryce!

I believe that it comes down to the long program for sure to decide who goes to Vancouver. I was very pleased to see Meagan's skate after having her injury at Skate America.
There is only about 3 points between the three teams so thats not much.. It was unfortunate for Jess and Bryce as Jess missed her triple shalcow because she did a beautiful one in warm up.

What a shame we can only send 2 pairs teams to the Olympics! Craig has been a favourite of mine for years, so I'm always rooting for him, and I think he and Meagan make a great team. But there's no doubt that Annabel and Cody out-skated them, and they deserve their trip to the Games.

But the really great news is how terrific Jess & Bryce were. Finally, they looked like their past world podium form. I still think they're a long shot to finish on the podium at the Olympics, but anything can happen ...

I love Meagan and Craig. It would have been so cool for them to skate in Vancouver as thats where Craig is from.

I dont know if Jess and Bryce have a chance at the podium in Vancouver but they need to completely clean programs to challenge thats for sure. I think they would be happy with that and then whatever else happens, happens. I guess you never know.
