Conttews Photos by Doug Horvey GENEVA, SWITZERLAND (CP) — Canada won its first ice dancing medal at the world figure skating in 22 years iy when Tracy Wilson ef Port Moody and Reb McCall of Dartmouth, N.S. serambled for a bronze on the final day of competition. Skating to four sets of ballroom music, Wilson and McCall showed footwork, choreography and dazzling interpretation of their music in getting by Soviets Natalia Annenko and Generich Stretensky, who had been in third place after the compulsory dances and the original set patterns. The event was won by defending champions Natalia Bestemianov and Andrei Bukin of the Soviet Union with another Russian couple, Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko, second in a battle of brilliant freestyle skating. The gold medallists, skating second last among the top five, were awarded three perfect 6s while Klimova and Ponomarenko were nearly as good with one 6.0 and eight 5.9s for interpretation. A Canadian contingent of about 1,000 among the 8,000 at the Vernets ice rink roared their approval as Wilson and McCall skated out to receive the first Canadian ice dance medal since 1964 Three medals this week gave Canada its best performance at the world since 1964 “I can't believe it, I can't believe it,” cried Wilson as the marks went up. “That's the best we've ever skated; we can't do it any better.” Canadian coach Bernard Ford said, “It's so important that we've finally broken the Soviet domination.” Canada wins bronze Rod and Karyn Garossino of Calgary finished ninth overall, the same position they held going into Saturday's third phase of the ice dabee competition. What damaged their hopes of moving up a couple of notehes ip the final was a fall at the three-minute mark while Rod was carrying his sister on his back. \ : TROUBLE SPOT Wilson and McCail skated first in the final group, a difficult position for capturing high marks. “When they came after yesterday's practice and told us we were first in the draw the room went silent,” said Wilson, 24. “But we always try to turn it into something positive.” “Yes,” said McCall, “we said all week that ‘Hey, we'd really like to skate last.” “But when we had to go first. we said, ‘Hey, that's where we really wanted to skate all the time.” ” Wilson and McCall have been Canadian champions since 1962, just five months after forming a partnership. Their innovative routines — they have never chosen safe, conservative choreography — were gambles within the rigid structure of the ice dance discipline. But they moved up quickly from their 10th place world debut to eighth in 1983 and 1984 and fourth last year “But when Bernie first came to us and suggested that we do ballroom we kind of balked,” laughed Wilson. “He'd kept telling up about ballroom but we'd keep bringing in other music. “Finally we found a music store which had the music we wanted.” Ie takes planning to control your finances, pre- pare for your retirement and take care of your childrens’ education expenses.
