Note! Shae-Lynn Bourne&Victor Kraatz are probably the most popular icedancers in the World, they have taken over the mantel of contreversial icedance pairs from Torvill&Dean and the french brother and sister Paul&Isabel Dushanay so to speak. Over the years they have developed their "Hydroblading" something which has become a regular feature in every program they make. They also have one thing more in common with the two pairs mentioned before, they are trying to break the russian strangle hold on the World crown, both the Dushanays and Torvill/Dean succeeded in defeating the russians, it remains to be seen whether or not the Canadians can do the same. The canadians have a very fresh look on the ice and also seem to enjoy their skating, however they do need to increase their diffculty by not skating so much in the "killian" hold or side by side which they have done.
Strong Points:Presentation, Good clean edges
Weaknessses:Technical difficulty
Trademark:"Hydroblading"
