battle of the blades | the winners

Did anyone else watch the Finale of Battle of the Blades?  The Russian darlings, Katia Gordeeva and Val Bure took the trophy and can I say, I couldn't be happier.  They were absolutely amazing all season - two great and wonderfully kind people, who were a pleasure to meet, partnered each other beautifully.  Congrats to the two charities they were skating for, both obviously near and dear to both skaters - Val skated for Compassion Canada and Katia for Cardiac Kids [please click their links for more on these wonderful charities]- each will be receiving $50,000.  Here's two of my favourite performances from them.  Congrats again and I can't wait for Season 3.
