So to get us underway
in the final group here
in the rhythm dance at Skate Canada 2026.
These two real characters, always fun to watch,
really looking forward to this.
Marie-Jade Laressant and Romain Lagacé for Canada.
Oh yes, love it already.
That
was
a
lot
of
fun.
Well, they are always very,
very entertaining and they haven't let us down here, have they?
Marie-Jade Laressant, Romain Lagacé for Canada.
They loved it here in Kelowna.
Hope you enjoyed that. I really did.
Yeah, there was a little
dicey moment at the end of
the circular step sequence.
He just put a toe pick in and I'm
not sure whether it was part of the step or
whether it was one of the first steps after the step sequence,
but technical panel are reviewing it.
And they've given it a green light.
They're both getting a two on that.
And everything getting a positive GOE, which is important.
Really good edge work.
And for me, I just love the way they kept
the character all the way through.
The Henry Mancini classic, The Dancing Cat,
that first piece of music.
And it's so reminiscent of that Pink Panther program they did.
He was just a perfect Peter Sellers.
Remember that?
I love the swatting
the fly throughout the program.
Loads of innovation all the way through.
So they loved it.
So what do they need?
71.41 or more would give them the lead.
Their season's best, 75.57,
got that in the Challenger Series event in Oberstdorf.
Going to be in the 70s, you fancy.
So 72.10 it is.
They do go into the lead.
