Nik Sorensen is now a Canadian

[Elizabeth]

This news means that he is now would be eligible to represent Canada at the Olympics with his ice dance partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry - they previously represented Denmark. They train at I.AM with Marie-France & Patrice.

I haven't seen them. How good are they?

They are excellent, Fred - their ISU biography: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00014665.htm
They were unable to participate at the Olympics previously as it was not possible for Laurence to get Danish citizenship.

They missed a season competing within Canada as Nik had to have surgery on his leg.

Here's a sample of one of their memorable programs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDucbvZ4c1s

They are certainly good skaters. Despite what the commentators are saying about the flamingco number, i thought it wasted a lot of the beats in the middle part. Apparently it was Shae Lynn's choreography and I'd expect more from Shae.
When I saw Jaime & David for the first time, before they had won even Canadian's, I was floored at how good they were. I don't get the same feeling from this Dance Couple. Maybe I'm just getting old. Anyway, I've got things to do and Falafel to fry for a late night snack.
All the best. -- Fred
