well, since everyone is suggesting music, i'm going to get into the act too. my suggestion is Bolero. i know it's been done(although i never saw it)....but its a REALLY good song. It just seems like it would fit you two really well.
anyway, best of luck to you both!!!

Marina and Gwendal, you have single-handedly made ice dance my favorite of the skating disciplines. Like many others out there, I consider your "Romeo & Juliet" the greatest ice dance of all time (yes, even better than "Bolero"). The two of you are just magical . . . I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us next season. I notice other people have made music suggestions for your programs, and I actually have a suggestion for an exhibition program. There is a song called "Smooth" on Santana's new album, "Supernatural." I love this song, and every time I hear it on the radio I imagine the two of you skating to it. It has both a blues and Latin feel and has a quite sexy sound, which is probably why it makes me think of you! Anyway, I wish you all the best for the upcoming season and thank you for giving me the sheer joy of watching you. Sincerely, Julie Stanton

It is so unfair that your efforts were awarded by only a silver medal!I wish you the best of luck next season!Ilove you guys!

Hi Marina and Gwendal! Do you know the music from "Man of La Mancha" ? Not the "Impossible Dream", that's been done before. There are other moving songs like "Dulcinea" and the one that goes: I am I Don Quiote, the Lord of La Mancha, etc. A combination of these songs might work nicely for your FD. The story is great with Marina as Dulcinea and Gwendal as Don Quiote. Sandy

Hi Gwendal, Re: Little Katie's message some messages down on this page, she sounds like a charmer. All I ask her is that she allow me one dance with you at your wedding, then it's off to dance on the ice for the two of you. Good luck in the next season. Hope you get what you deserve this time. Hopefully a guest at your wedding , Bethany Johnson

Hello Gwendal,
I certainly feel like an idiot. I should've at least gotten your autograph or something. Oh well, that's clubmed for you! Our pictures came out great, at least I have those! If you are ever in LA, the invitation stands. There are some beautiful places Lauren and I would love to take you to. Don't believe you'll ever read this, but thought I might try just the same. Hope all is well and perhaps our paths will cross again. Be good!! -mandy

well, i've only actually see you perform 2 times - worlds 99 exhibition and COI this year, but i LOVE "time to say goodbye" which is in fact the program that got me interested in Ice Dancing. I wish you good luck next season, and best wishes for the future. Keep TTSG around and use it again! It's the best exhibiton of any skating i've ever seen.

Hello!
We are two crazy fans of yours, who are French and Swedish, but live in Lebanon.
Just to tell you we think you are great, and we watched and recorded every competition you were in. We of course think you should have won and were very disappointed when you didn't. We do think that you will have lot's of gold medals next year.
We haven't been able to see your Hunchback program, yet, but we are dying to see it. We have loved watching the Iron Mask programs and think it the best program that we have ever seen.
We haven't been able to catch you live, as no skating programs ever happen here in Lebanon, but if we're ever in Europe at a right time we will be sure to catch a program then.
 Anyway we are your biggest fans in the middle east! We would love for you to answer us!

Hello!
I hope you guys enjoyed your vacation! Gwendal, it was great meeting you in LA. We went to The Gate but you weren't there yet, so we just hung out at the hotel. It was really nice meeting you - You taught me to say "Vous habitez avec vous parents?" If you actually read this and you remember me, write me back, that'd be great. Oh, and I'll say that your performance in LA was incredible, definitely a highlight of the show! Take care and welcome back home! :-)

Dear M & G -
I saw your performance at COI this past Saturday in LA, and as usual, you were wonderful. I was allowed backstage and Gwendal very graciously posed for a picture (which came out great by the way) and gave me an autograph. Meeting Gwendal was not only worth the price of admission alone, it made my day!

I love your ending bow from "Romeo and Juliet." How about using it at the end of all your skating performances? The kneeling-together bow is original, adorable, romantic and very much shows equality.

Dear Gwendal and Marina,
I have long admired figure skating as a sport and it wasn't until the 1998 Olympics that I first saw you both. Your "Romeo and Juliet" program was fantastic and it had me captivated from the first moment. The costumes were beautiful and the choreography perfectly suited the music and the story. I recently watched the 1999 Worlds and I loved "The Man in the Iron Mask" dance. It too was superb and there was so much attention to emotional detail and innovative manoeuvres. I definitely thought that you both should have won the gold for this routine - I was in total disbelief when I saw the judges award the gold to Anjelika and Oleg, whose routine lacked an emotional connection and seemed too esoteric. I am not a skater (in fact, I have never skated before!) and do not know much about how difficult and demanding the sport must be, but you both make it look so easy and you look as if you belong on the ice! I was pleased to see that the entire audience at the Worlds placed you first. You are first in the
eyes of many fans, even here in Australia. I would just like to say "felicitations" for all your success and hope to see your deserved gold medal soon. I know Australia is a long way and there isn't that much of an iceskating culture, but perhaps you would like to travel here one day and give a wonderful performance. Gros bisous, Natasha.

Dear Gwendal & Marina,

   We are not travelers, but this past week my husband and I flew 5400 miles (8709 km) in 36 hours just to see you two perform "The Man in the Iron Mask" in Phoenix, Arizona. I had been so disapointed to have missed your two days in the East because we already had other commitments on those days. Since I have been a hugh skating fan for 11 years and your "Man" at Worlds this year is my all-time favorite skating performance, I just had to get to see it once in person. Phoenix was the place and day that seemed to work best for us, so this trip became our 35th wedding anniversary present to ourselves (a year early).

It was a perfect trip, and the skating was great. "Man" was wonderful but over much too quickly, as always. (I sure am glad I have the TV version on tape to watch over and over again.) Having only seen you skate 4 different programs ("R&J", "Time", "'99 OD Waltz", and "Man")which are all serious, it was such fun seeing another side of you in the cast finale. It looked as if you were really enjoying yourselves.

Although we were able to see a part of the USA we hadn't seen before, and, it was great to get away, we still hope that next year you will have more performances in the East.

I have been a fan since I first saw A&P on the television broadcast of the World Championships 1996 and have tried to keep up since, sometimes unsucessfully!
I had the great pleasure to see them perform with COI during the stop in Dallas, Tx. It was wonderful to see their competition program in person. It was a big diappointment to me when they were not able to perform here last year.
Best of luck next season; Marina and Gwendal should have won the World Championship this season! Hope you make a return trip next year to Dallas...jrb

Dear Marina and Gwendal,
   Your beautiful skating has moved me to tears, especially Romeo&Juliet, Time to Say Goodbye, and Man in the Iron Mask. Thank you for the wonderful hours of skating you have given us, as I can never truly express how much joy they have given me. I live in constant pain, and watching you skate takes me away from the pain for a little while! You are truly champions, and may you continue to skate passionately and joyfully-for that is the source of your magic! Many Thanks-Robin

I think you're the best ice dancers of the world, I fell in love with your Romeo & Juliet program, it's wonderful, you can feel the love, the emotion and the power of the music, I'm a single skater and when I watched that program, I decided to skate too Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet, and when I do the routine I always think on you both and tried to feel the music like you do. I didn't have the chance to watch your "The Man in the iron Mask" program, but I guess if it's as good as Romeo & Juliet is, you will wear gold this season. Just keep skating as long as you can because you are both THE BEST! And remember you have a lot of fans, also here in Mexico.

You are by far my favorite ice dancers and I have been watching figure skating for many years. I have only been able to see you in person oncelast year at world's. Last year I was so disappointed you didn't come to Nashille, Tennessee with Champions On Ice. But I have heard you will be here this year. It is only 2 days away and I am very excited. You have been robbed of a gold medal in the last 2 world championships. I hope the judges will someday be fair in ice dance. I will look forward to seeing you in Champions on Ice and on television in the future. Good Luck.

Salut Gwendal!
Je m'adresse en particulier à toi car j'ai vu que tu venais de temps à autre sur le site...
Bien sûr, Marina et toi, je ne vous féliciterai jamais assez pour vos performances...
J'ai assisté à La tournée française (à Rouen, plus précisément)et j'ai passé une des plus fabuleuses et magiques soirées de ma vie! Encore merci à toute l'équipe!
J'aurai tant voulu vous voir patiner sur Danse Mon Esmeralda... Etant une grande admiratrice du spectacle et de vous, vous avez réussi à me toucher au plus profond de mon âme, une vive émotion s'est emparée de moi... Votre prestation est la plus frappante et émotionnelle que j'ai jamais vu... Il existe un réel lien entre le spectacle et votre programme, on a l'impression d'être dans l'esprit de Quasimodo qui fait revivre sa Belle pour une dernière danse... Et par votre incroyable talent d'interprétation, je dirai que l'on peut découper votre programme en 3 parties: La première où Quasimodo ranime Esmeralda et est le maître de la situation, la seconde où ils évoluent ensemble et la dernière où Esmeralda reprend vie et Quasimodo semble soumis à sa Belle... Un magnifique programme bien construit en pespective...
L'objet de mon message est aussi celui-ci:
Pour tout te dire, je travaille en tant que journaliste bénévole pour le site OFFICIEL NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS... Et je cherche depuis des semaines à te CONTACTER!!! Comme votre progamme fait référence au spectacle, je suis en projet d'une rubrique portant sur les autres artistes travaillant sur NDP... Alors, j'aurai voulu te poser quelques questions, une petite interview en quelques sortes!
Alors, si tu en as la possibilité, contacte-moi quand tu veux...
En espérant avoir de tes nouvelles...
Amitiés et bravo,
Célia

Bonjour, Gwendal et Marina,
J'ai vu vos programmes et je les adore beaucoup! Vous etes superbe! Votre danse libre est excellente!

Ok, I don't know much French coz I'm only in French 3. What I want to say is, your free dance at the Helsinki World Championship was indescribably fantastique! I felt so sorry that you didn't won the gold, but I belive that you guys are the champions all the way no matter what. Keep up the good job and create more thrilling routines and your extraordinary lifts that inspire us all!

One word that comes to my mind when I see you skate is: mesmerizing. With your R and J program, and this years program, you both have captured the epitome of what skating should be. The emotions you express is conveyed cleary to everyone that is watching, you clearly love to skate and love to skate with one another. Last year was when I really got a chance to see you, but it was due to the block judging controversy, which was sad because I think maybe that portrayed you negatively and evryone was looking for a reason to say "Well, they made this small mistake. Bourne and Kraatz were better." In reality, though, you deserved the silver medal at Olympics, and gold at the Worlds for these past two years. Eventually, you will win a world championship, ther's no doubt about that. The onlt doubt is when will the judges let you win, it's sad that it has to be that way, despite all the so-called reforms there have been. Anyways, I just wanted to commend you both for your wonderful work, and encourage you to continue striving at being the best, because you really are the best in the world right now. You've turned a once mocking viewer of ice dancing into a dance afficionato. I can't wait to see what you have planed for this year!

Every competition I've seen of yours these past few years, I thought you should have won!
I look forward to seeing more of your skating on TV. I saw you on COI in St. Louis, MO and I loved it! Keep up the excellent work and don't let the judges get to you because they obviously have their favorites before evening seeing you two skate.
Gwendal, you are the most handsome, elegant, sexy and masculine man I've ever seen. I would loved to give you a kiss!
The relationship you two have as partners and friends is inspiring.
Thanks for putting together such creative performances. I've never seen anyone so creative than the two of you on ice. Your lifts blow me away, my heart races as I anticipate your lifts.

Marina & Gwendal...You were not beaten at Helsinki, but you were definitely robbed! Eventhough you did not receive gold, you most certainly ARE gold. Congratulations on being, without a doubt, the true winners. We saw you in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 6th, and were awed, as usual. Everything about you is truly striking: your skating, your choreography, your costumes, your expressions, your complete "look." I hope you will tour with COI next year...we've already ordered tickets. I don't know if you will read this message, but I feel better having left it.

Dear Marina and Gwendal,
   I am a high school ESL teacher(English as a Second Language). When my students first start school, they know little or no English. They are from many different countries around the world. I thought you might like to know that when I show clips of your performances to my students, the reaction is always the same. Everyone is mesmerized,awed. Then the lively discussion begins! Soon the class is busy asking questions and talking to each other. And you have made many new fans.
   It doesn't matter what culture or language or country they come from, all the students understand what you convey on the ice. It is particularly fascinating to them that you both come from such diverse backgrounds. We are all looking forward to next season!

Figure skating is not about winning the medal (of course, it is also very important), but rather making a CHANGE! And I strongly believe that you, as an ice dance pair, changed the "traditional" ice dancing forever! And I am very happy about it!
I just hope that all of those judges will change their frames of mind, and stop granting "not so special" skaters something they are not worth!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Chers Marina et Gwendal, Je voulais juste vous dire que vous meritiez vraiment d'etre champions du monde et d'europe! Votre programme etait de loin le meilleur!A mon avis,le public d'Helsinki etait d'accord avec moi.   Je suis sure que l'année prochaine sera la bonne.   Il ne peut en être autrement.Continuez à faire des programmes aussi touchants et émouvants que Romeo et Juliette et L'homme au masque de fer et vous ne pourrez que gagner.Vous avez des milliers de fans derriere vous alors courage.En continuant sur cette voie ,je vous vois bien champions olympiques dans 3 ans! GROS GROS BISOUS!!! ISA

Hi Marina and Gwendal. You are, by far, one of the most exciting duos in Ice Dance - ever. I recently attended a COI performance. Wow! I knew you would be wonderful, but you took my breath away. I had literal goosebumps! Your beauty, talent, speed, expression and passion were the highlight of the entire evening. Thank you.

Dear Gwendal and Marina,
Since the first time I say you two skate, have I always liked the way you skate. I think I first say you on TV in the autum 1993. The last two year have your skating been absolut fantastic. I have been unabel to look at anything else when you to have been skating, and have got chills of watching you skate. I belive that you this season have won all the commentators and the audiance heart and you do reserve this.In my heart you are the champions and I really, really hope that jugdes let you win next.

Dear Marina and Gwendal, My whole family races to the TV when I call, "A & P are on!" My husband and two little sons don't sit and watch entire events, but no one wants to miss your performances! You guys are so fabulous, you really push the envelope and show us all what ice dancing can be. We totally adore you both. New Orleans is building a professional ice arena this year, so maybe next year, the Tom Collins tour will come here. You would love New Orleans, its the most French of all American cities. Take care, stay creative and free spirited. Oh, and don't cut your hair short, either of you! You're so beautiful. Hope to see you for real someday, not just on TV...

You are so beautiful on the ice. I must say. I cheer for you. I first saw you in 99, Helsinki. And I just love you both! You are so, so incredible beautiful on the ice, I cannot say it enough. ... WOW! Keep up the good work. I wish you the very best.

Dear Marina & Gwendal:

I'm Paula, from Spain, and I must say that I admire you A LOT. I'm not an skater myself (I'm a rhthmic gymnast), in fact I have never ice skated. But since I first saw you on TV performing Romeo and Juliet at 1998 Olympics I can't stop thinking about figure skating. You have a great stile, magnificent choreographies, perfect expressivity,... I love all the programs that I've seen from you and I will never forget you.
I was very disapointed with your second place from Helsinki, it even made me cry!And I wish you THE BEST for the next Season, I hope that you will get the first place that you deserve!!!!!!

  I want to congratulate both of you on a fantastic season! I was disappointed that the judges prevented you from winning in Helsinki, but I know that next year, you will be world champions in Brisbane! Have a wonderful summer, and good luck with your new programs! I think you are the most beautiful and exquisite ice dancers ever.

Au revoir a tous!

Chers Marina et Gwendal,
Un simple message pour vous féciliter. Nous sommes tous sous le charme de vos programmes. Même mes deux jeunes enfants ne se lassent pas de voir votre Masque de Fer. Je souhaite que l'an prochain les juges soient moins partiaux et que vous obteniez enfin un titre largement mérité!
A quand l'édition d'un livre, vos fans l'attendent avec impatience. Et pourquoi pas une K7 vidéo de vos différents programmes?
Merci encore

Dear Marina and Gwendal:

I thought ice dancing was boring until I saw you skate last year! And this year is better than ever -- you should have won the Europeans and the Worlds. It is a shame that the judges only place the skaters according to reputation! I love the way you look into each other's eyes when you skate: it is as though you only skated for yourselves, and that makes it special for all of us. I hope to see you wearing gold next year!
Much love, Jan

Thank you for one of the most spectacular performances I have ever seen (World Free Dance). Words can not describe how I felt when it finished. The only low point was the judging.
Here's to next year.

Bon chance.

Salut!
As everyone else is wishing you a happy (belated!) birthday I may as well do the same - Happy Birthday !
I really loved your routines this year, even my dad was quite amazed by "that" lift!! You are truly the finest ice dance couple the world has seen since Torvill & Dean and this year's free dance was just as good as Bolero. I cried when you were only placed second at the worlds and europeans - it must be incredibly frustrating for you both ! Keep trying, you will eventually prevail .Now, I'm off to brush up on my French for my school - leaving exams on Friday, but unlike you I don't have any biased judges to contend with!
Au revoir a tous!!

For me your are the best ice-skaters of the world. No other pair knows it that well to fascinate the audience like you. UNFORTUNATELY I haven't had the chance yet to see you live somewhere. Are you going to come to Germany at any time ??? But I watched every ice dance competition in TV and recorded it all. I hope you will dance together for a long time and I am already looking forward to the next winter season !!!!

Marina & Gwendal,
I'm sorry to say that I haven't had the pleasure of watching you skate live, there isn't much opportunity for that when you live in Australia! We are lucky if we get skating on the television once a year! Even though I haven't seen you live, the emotion and power of your skating has touched me (and many of my friends) even through the TV. I think that in itself is a great feat as the emotion is easily lost if you are not viewing it in person. I am a skater (precision/synchronized skating) and you are an inspiration to me and my whole team. We watch you, and try to put your emotion and presence into our own skating. Thankyou for all you have done for dance and iceskating in general.
You really are beautiful skaters and a joy to watch! It would be great if you could somehow make an appearance down under, but I know it is difficult, and won't hold my breath! I hope I get the opportunity to see you one day.
Happy Birthday Gwendal!

Could someone tell me where I can get any Marina/Gwendal posters?

Habituellement, je suis plus interressée par le hockey sur glace. Mais je dois avouer que lorsque je vous aie vu le 8 avril à la patinoire de Rouen, j'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux.
C'est vrai, je comprends réellement l'indignation des fans qui m'ont précédées, vous méritiez largement cette médaille d'or.
Merci encore pour cette magnifique soirée que vous m'avez fait passée, il me reste comme souvenir des dédicaces et des photos, en attendant impatiemment votre prochaine apparition.
Merci à vous.

Je suis archi fan de patinage comme ma grand-mère. Cette année, nous avons regardé à la tv tous les championnats. D'habitude, je suis pas vraiment pour les français (et pourtant, j'en suis une !) mais honnêtement, cette fois - ci, vous auriez dû gagnez à Prague et à Helsinki. On se régouit d'avance de vous revoir avec un nouveau programme l'an prochain et on vous soutiendra ma grand-mère et moi à 200 %. Bonne continuation et gardez espoir, car un jour, vous serez champion du monde.

Dear Gwendal and Marina:

This is to congratulate you on all your beautiful and excellent performances!!! I like all of them, but my favorite one has been "Romeo and Juliet". You really do look like a Romeo and Juliet!

I've always been more interested in watching the single skaters, and one day I was watching Ice-dancing and I saw your performance of Romeo and Juliet and I loved it!!! Since then I started watching ice-dancing, and I think you are the BEST in the world!!! To be honest I didn't like Krylova & Ovsiannikov's free dance at all!!! You were a lot much better than them. You are truly the World Champions.

What I love about your skating is the feeling and passion you put into it and that you have the art of transmitting those feelings to all of us who are watching you!!! It is really beautiful.

Congratulations and I wish you all the best in all your performances!!!

   I love to watch you two skate. You two are my absolute favorite ice dance couple. I have watched ice skating for a while now but i usually just watch singles. Every since I started watching you guys, I can't wait to watch the ice dance competition now. I loved your romeo and juliet program. I thought you were great at Worlds this year. I wish you would have won. I hope i will get to see you perform on tour. Thanks for all the great skating.

My mother and I think Gwendal is super hot, and my father and two brothers think the same about Maria. I was angry when you two were places in second. Next year, blow 'em away! I'd just like to say never give up, you two are fantastic.

I saw an interview about you and you said that you are NOT lovers in it. That was a really disappointment to me. I think you would be a perfect couple, especially because of all that passion what is shown when you are skating.
Ps. Has anyone else noticed that there was Russian judge but no French one in the judges of Freedance in Helsinki? That wasn't fair!

BRAVO! BRAVO!  BRAVO!  A&P  CHEERS!  CHEERS!  CHEERS!             You both made me want to dance and imitate your moves, which I tried to do. Ha! Ha! Seriously though, I never did like ice dancing much until I saw you both on t.v. a couple of yrs. ago. Since then, I've always made a point to watch and tape your performances whenever you appear on t.v. In fact, you are the only couple I reserve that honor for. In closing, I'd just like to say that as a couple you both complement one another and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. By the way, I'm so glad you grew your hair long Gwendal.  Now you don't look like you're younger than Marina, which I thought you were the first time I saw you. YOU BOTH MAKE A TRULY BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

probablemente, nadie entienda esto pero mi ingles es muy malo y tenia q decirlo.
Porque un dia me enamore del patinaje artistico, y desde entonces, trasnocho cada invierno para lograr cazar alguna imagen perdida de campeonatos q nunca retrasmiten. Porque un dia vi una imagen de un programa maravilloso q ha hecho q ame el patinaje por encima de cualquier otra distraccion q el invierno pueda ofrecerme. Y todo eso se lo debo a Gwendal y Marina. Y se lo agradezco.

Dear Gwendal and Marina!
When you read in your guestbook you can see how much love there is out in this world for the two of you and for the beauty you give us when you are on the ice (and off). People from all over the world sign it every day and everyone has only good things to say. I am really looking forward to the next season when I can see you perform again. Can hardly wait.
Love from Katrin!

It is difficult for me to express my feelings when I watch you skating. The chemistry among you and the way you reflect it on the ice is really amazing! You have been bewitching me for two years. I think the reason you couldn't win the gold in the World is a a matter of debate. When Pasha Grishuk and Evgeny Platov were on the ice, Anjelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsyannikov were second. Now the same thing happens to you. I wonder if the judges are deciding without having prejudice! Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you as champions.

Je suis stupéfaite : je ne savais pas que vous aviez tant de supporters ! Tout a été dit, et pourtant, je tiens absolument à vous écrire que vous voir patiner ensemble est plus qu'un plaisir : c'est une passion. J'avais déjà les larmes aux yeux lors de votre prestation de "L'Homme au masque de fer" à Prague, mais ce fut encore plus beau à Helsinki. Nous tremblions pour vous devant notre télévision. J'espère que vous continuerez longtemps à nous enchanter.

Marina and Gwendal:

As many others have stated, you really should have won in Helsinki.

Please continue to stretch the envelope. When you get on the ice I know you'll make me think. You'll entertain me, inspire me, and touch me. What more can I ask from artists who are gifted athletes as well. All of your programs at Helsinki were breathtaking. You know that you won the gold. Your competitors skated well, but the judging was tainted.

Sincerely

Gwendal:

I was extremely moved by your performance in the worlds. I am a newsbroadcaster now but I am also a big fan of your sport and your country. I was a foreign exchange student in Annecy about 6 years ago. One of the most beautiful places on earth! I notice you live in Lyon now. I lived with a french family and my brother Eric Mallinjoud also went to the university in Lyon. I hope you and your partner continue together until Salt Lake in 2002. I would love to see you there. Tell me, when is the next time you will be in the U.S. and have you ever spent time in Annecy?
Best of luck to you!

Hello Marina et Gwendal!
Je tenais à vous féliciter pour toutes vos sublimes prestations et performances... Pour être franche, c'est grâce à vous que j'ai découvert le patinage et combien il pouvait être sujet de nombreuses émotions...
Je regrette que vous n'ayez pas remportés la médaille d'or que vous mériter tant mais je vous dis bravo pour votre courage et votre fair-play. De toute façon, sachez que même si vous n'avez été médaillés que d'argent, vos patins et vos coeurs sont fait d'Or! Continuez ainsi, toute la France vous soutient! Continuez comme vous savez si bien le faire, à emflammer la glace!
Sur ce, je vous dis à très bientôt, à la patinoire de Rouen où j'aurai enfin le plaisir de pouvoir vous voir...
Merci pour votre talent et votre générosité sans limite!
Amitiés, Célia.

Dear Marina and Gwendal !

I am ordinary russian young man (15 years) and I am not engaged in figured driving.

Probably, You did not expect the letter from Russia. You think in russia do not love you. It is not so! I and a lot of Russians very much liked your performances on a championship.

I think you should win, too!

I am engaged in ballroom dances 9 years. And I well know about dance and plasticity. You are superb danced and felt each other! It was perfect and wonderful!

But you have russian trainer too! It means russian school has won!

Dear Marina and Gwendal: Loved your free dance at Worlds. OUTSTANDING!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE WON. There is definitely something wrong with the judging system in ice dancing. Saw your exhibition number - even more outstanding, moving, elegent, athletic, graceful and just mind boggling. Was the best performance I have ever seen you do. The Russians aren't the only great ice dancers. Hang in there - your fans and the audiences are with you. Your turn is coming. Don't split up.

I think that your web page is very good. I love to watch Marina and Gwendal perform. She is so beautiful on the ice, and they move well together. I think that it is a shame that they did not win the 1999 World Championships. I felt that their program was much better than the Russian's. But they will be around and hopefully they will win next year.  -Michael Tupman

Great performance in Helsinki!
I would like to issue a plead:
What is the name of the beautiful classical duet you have been skating to?
(not the iron mask)
I think it is Andrea Bocelli singing...
Would appreciate help from anyone!!!!

You two are the best thing to happen to Ice Dancing since the Duchesnay's. "The Man in the Iron Mask" was skated brilliantly at Worlds and worthy of rewinding the video for viewing over and over. The gold metal was yours, someone made a mistake and put it around the wrong necks. Shame on them.

Dear Marina,
not a word about the Worlds, what can possibly be said?
I wrote a message here a couple of weeks ago, in which I refered to your skating as magic. While watching you in Helsinki, I started wondering.
Have you ever noticed the likeness between the names Marina Anissina and Morgiana Assasin?
That's a quite silly question, let me explain.
In some books written by Judith Tarr, an elvan woman occures, that's Morgiana. She's about 1.65, has long, red hair, is rather pale, very beautiful and moves with an incredible grace. See what I mean?
I don't know if you are actually reading all these messages, but I sure hope you'll read this.
By the way, I'm sure you have a lot of ideas and plans for programs, but the music from Lloyd Webbers 'Cats' really would suit you perfect.
My best wishes,

Anna

Après votre prestation de Coupe du Monde, je suis sortie de chez moi pour ne pas regarder les Russes. J'ai attendu, sous la pluie, le coeur battant, le résultat des Russes (en pensant, puisqu'il y avait un juge russe dans le jury, que vous alliez être encore spolié de ce titre). Mon mari est sorti en m'annoncant que vous n'étiez pas champion du Monde. J'en ai pleuré.J'ai lu tous vos messages ; tout a été dit. Je n'ai rien à ajouter.Simplement merci du fond du coeur pour toute la joie, le rêve que vous nous apportez et surtout pour votre courage car je penses que dans le milieu "injuste" du patinage, il en faut beaucoup.
Grand merci à tous deux.

Même s'il s'agit d'une maigre consolation, dites-vous bien que vous êtes dans le coeur des français les champions du monde en titre et j'espère ceux de l'année prochaine pour les juges.Merci de tenir le public informé des suites de la réclamation déposée par la Fédération.

Encore une fois vous avais été spoliés !

Je peux vous dire que je n'avais encore jamais ressenti une émotion aussi intense au patinage.

Vous m'avez fait frissonner de plaisir et pleurer de joie pendant votre passage et après malheureusement, pleurer de déception devant l'injustice que vous avais subie.

Soyez sûr que pour nous vous êtes le couple N°1 de la danse et continuer de nous faire plaisir avec la force que nous vous envoyons.

I was really upset last night. My mom said that it was over but i don't get it. I personally know that skatign isn't fair (there's a judge who just doesn't like me, i swear) but when you skated i felt it. i really felt it deep inside me.

M&G,

Thank you and congratulations for the medals, though you should have had the golden ones. But don't worry, the audience loves you, and ice skating needs the audience, not the judges.

Keep on skating, for all of us who enjoy your performances so much.

Dear Gwendal and Marina,
I hope the response from the public speaks for itself, the colour of the medal doesn't reflect what everyone saw. The words "figure skating" in Czech are "beauty skating".....which is what everyone sees when you come on the ice. You know how to target the emotional in people, and your popularity is a sign.  On a lighter note, maybe if you both lived in Russia, you'd get the gold. But this way, you have to work harder for it.
I know how many hours and years of training goes into the performances you present with ease. We are all in awe.  Best of everything.

Salut Marina et Gwendal !
Je tiens à vous féliciter pour votre performance au championnat du monde... Le programme de cette année est le meilleur que je n'ai jamais vu . Déjà que l'année dernière j'étais à chaque fois ébouie par "roméo et juliette" , avec "l'homme au masque de fer" , j'ai des frissons partout , rien qu'à vous voir sur la glace ! Dans mon coeur , vous êtes les meilleurs et c'est dommage qu'encore 1 fois , ces satanés russes.... Enfin bon , j'espère de tout coeur que le plus vite possible , la pression des russes disparaîtra et que les juges ne noteront plus injustement .

En attendant de vous revoir aux Masters Miko , je vous embrasse très très fort .

god, your performance at the worlds was just AMAZING!! it completely took my breath away! I've seen it before, but your passion and inspiration just blew me away at worlds. I've never really enjoyed ice dancing, but after seeing you, I've looked at it in a completely different light and you guys are obviously my favorite pair now. I can't wait to see more of you!! (I think I'll go rewind my tape of worlds and watch you guys again..and again..and again.. :) Congratulations on the silver!

What could I say ...

Well do what you said yesterday : become 10 times superior to the others. Work on your compulsories, put hard work on step sequence.

Try to innovate a little more than this year, choose a totally different theme, fill your program with footwork like your jive of 98, and please keep up the artistry, the chemistry betwenn you.
Iwas crying by the end of your dance, and I was crying in shock after the results.
But please, DO NOT whine about judging. If there was irregularity be sweet and gentle about it. Do not blame anyone. Just behave and let it go. You are the champions in so many hearts ! So don't make people think you have poor sportsmanship ! Just maybe ask the federation not to put in the reclamation, it would be better for all of you...

Regards,

Dear Marina and Gwendal,
your performance at the World Championships was so extraordinary and outstanding, performed with so much passion. You took the hearts of millions. You are the real winners of this competition and the reaction of the audience showed that this is not only my opinion. The day will come when the audience's choice will be the one of the judges.
Go on believing in yourselves! You can do it!

Marina and Gwendal, your performance last night was totally magical. The whole arena's audience (including me)was completely hypnotized from the moment you touched the ice! Your wonderful dance and the passion with which you skated were unbelievable! I almost died of admiration.You are the real World Champions!!! I cried and cried when the results were announced-they were so unfair. You were both so brave and held your heads high...
Anyway, just keep up the magic. I'm so lucky to see you tomorrow at the gala exhibition...
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Yesterdays Freedance event was really poorly judged .I mean ANISSINA AND PEIZARET should have not medaled because their program is so so easy. It is very emotional but very easy.Next year please try to copy the russians or canadians because their programs are outstanding. If you want to be top please try your hardest and fill that program with FOOTWORK and NOT only LIFTS and cross cuts. YOu still have a long way to go.

All I can say is:

That at the end of Marina and Gwendal's performance last night, before ANY marks or results, I was in tears at their beautiful skate!

That only happened to me once before, Torvill and Dean at Worlds in 1984 and I was only 11 at the time LOL!

Good luck for next year and I hope to make it to Vienna!

Vous méritiez de gagner, pour moi et pour tous ceux qui vous ont si longuement ovationné, cela ne faisait aucun doute. Vous avez étés magnifiques pendant toute la semaine. Ne desespérez pas, continuez à vous battre, à nous faire vibrer, et à croire en ce sport qui vous à si souvent rejetés. Un jour, c'est sûr, votre immense talent sera récompensé. En attendant, vous pourrez toujours compter sur mon soutien. Courage! Avec toute mon amitié, votre fidèle supporter.

You were simply superb in Prague and Helsinki and touched the hearts of millions, including myself. I don't think there is need to say any more.

Don't give up, you will be sure to make it to the very top in the judges eyes one day. You already have achieved that with the audience. Bravo!

But when I found this page...boy it realy changed my mind. It is great.

I have NEVER seen snow in my life till I came to London for my studies. Heck..no snow back home, just sun, glorious sun! Oh..I still love to watch skating though..thought it's one of the most beautiful sport/art in the world. But, never before have I seen anything (or any pair!) like Anissina & Peizerat!! Such grace, such beauty and such strength...!!! As soon as I saw "Romeo & Juliet" I was madly in love..in love with the programme, with Gwendal (sigh..but of course) and in a way with Marina too (what a woman!) I can't begin to describe my feelings..I might take days!! Anyway, Marina & Gwendal..I love you both, love your work (past, present and future!) and may you have ALL the success and happiness in the world! Thank you for your grace and beauty...

loadsa love...June.

Hi all! I'm a member of the fanclub and was told by Severine that a lot of Swedes had signed the guest book. She was right. Nice to know that I'm not the only Swedish person who likes figure skating and loves A&P. Best wishes to A&P + all their fans.
