After
only three years together as a pair, Jamie Sale and David Pelletier skated away
with all the marbles in front of their home crowd in Vancouver. To call
their rise to the top "meteoric" would exaggerate the speed of
meteors. Before joining in 1998, both
Jamie and David had competed for eight years with other partners and as single skaters.
In only their first season together, they finished in third place in two Grand
Prix events. Two up-and-down years followed, crowned by a disastrous
performance at the 2000 Worlds; but they pulled it all together this season,
winning everything in sight.
Romance
and emotional connection are the hallmarks of Jamie and David's performances,
but they also showed a strong sense of humor with a whimsical Latin number at
the gala.
