Shae-Lynn Bourne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shae-Lynn Bourne (born January 24, 1976 in Chatham, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian ice dancer. She and partner Victor Kraatz became the first North American ice dancing world champions in 2003.
Bourne began skating at age seven. She first competed in pair skating events with partner Andrew Bertleff. She later changed to ice dancing and found a partner in Victor Kraatz. The team has had quite a few coaches, among them Tatiana Tarasova, Natalia Dubova, Uschi Keszler, and Nikolai Morozov.
Bourne skated for the club CPA Brossard. The final training location was Newington, USA.
Bourne and Kraatz were the first ice dancers to include hydroblading elements in their routines. They became known for their deep edges and soft knees, but later became famous for fast and difficult footwork sequences. Off the ice, they were often seen in the stands cheering on their competitors and teammates.
On August 12 2005, Shae-Lynn and Nikolai Morozov were married in Chatham, Ontario.
Shae-lynn uses her celebrity to speak out against child abuse, and she and Victor skated in numerous charity shows such as "Dreams On Ice". Bourne and Kraatz received the Governor General's Meritorious Service Crosses for courageously speaking out about unfair judging practices so that the sport could be improved for all competitors.
