Duchesnay & Duchesnay (FRA) - 1990 World Figure Skating Championships, Free Dance

Isabelle and Paul Duchesne. Paul was born in France, Isabelle in Quebec. They lived in Canada until 1985 when they moved to France and now compete for that country. This program was choreographed by Christopher Dean. It's entitled Missing. It's a tribute to those who have disappeared in South America. It's raw, honest, and intense. Absolute frenzy of this crowd. How would you like to be a judge right now? Do just that. They're next. Again, they're not known as technical skaters. If they're going to win this free dance, it will definitely be on the second mark, on the artistic mark. They don't have a chance for the gold medal, but they might win the free dance. All that depends on what the artistic impression marks show. This is their strength, their performance ability. Christopher Dean is their choreographer. That man in the middle is Martin Scott Nicky, their coach. Makes you wonder if they skated after Klimova and Potomarenko, whether they'd all be 6-0. There's still some room there. They could win the free dance. That would be a huge victory for the Duchennes. Klimova and Potomarenko continue to skate around on the ice, attempting to gather their composure. As this frenzied crowd goes on with its salute to Paul and Isabelle Duchenne. Want to know what it's like to coach? Here's Martin Scott Nicky at the end of the performance.
