Your hosts at work:
There was a little magic evident in awarding the first ever ISU Lifetime Achievement Award - one that was not voted upon but certainly well deserved
WARNING - do not go on to the next post if you don't want to be further spoiled as to the award winners......

Oh, kind of deflating, I remember voting back then, but was perhaps a bit biased

It's nice to see Shae-Lynn's name there for Choreography. She's always been a favourite of mine.

As you will have seen, she was up again Marie-France and Lori, so it was bound to be a Canadian winner. Shae-Lynn appeared quite shocked and Lori didn't look too pleased....
