Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat were both World Junior medallists--but with different partners. Marina originally skated with Ilia Averbukh, and Gwendal with Marina Morel. When both partnerships broke up (Averbukh to skate with Irina Lobacheva, and Morel retiring), Anissina sent several letters to her top prospects for a new partner, and Peizerat responded. They began skating together in 1993.
