Doi dansatori tineri, extrem de frumosi si talentati, care arata f bine impreuna, degaja energie si pasiune si care reprezinta viitorul Italiei in proba de dans:
Anna JoAnn Cappellini (born 19 February 1987 in Como) is an Italian ice dancer who competes with Luca Lanotte. They are the 2007-2010 Italian silver medalists and 2006 junior national champions. They have won three senior Grand Prix medals, all silver.
Cappellini started skating at the age of three and switched to ice dance when she was 12. She skated with Federico Bassi, Luca Lombardi and Matteo Zanni.She and Zanni placed fifth at the 2004 World Junior Championships. The next season, they won the bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix Final but had to withdraw from the 2005 Junior Worlds after the original dance due to Zanni's food poisoning. Their partnership ended after his father was severely injured in a car accident and he decided to stop competing.
Cappellini was partnered with Lanotte in May 2005 by the Italian skating federation. Following a strong season together on the junior circuit, Cappellini and Lanotte made their senior debut in 2006-07. They finished 8th at their first Europeans. Before their next event, Worlds, Cappellini suffered a torn labrum in her left shoulder. In the free dance at Worlds, they fell during a lift and finished 13th.
In 2007-08, they won their first Grand Prix medal, a silver at Skate Canada, moved up to seventh at Europeans, and finished in the top ten at Worlds.
In 2008-09, Cappellini and Lanotte did not medal in either of their Grand Prix appearances, but moved up to 5th at Europeans and were again tenth at Worlds. In the off-season, they decided to change coaches, and moved to Lyon, France to train with Muriel Boucher-Zazoui and Romain Haguenauer.
Cappellini and Lanotte got off to a strong start in 2009-10, winning silver medals at the Cup of Russia and Skate America and qualifying for their first Grand Prix Final, where they finished fifth. They then dropped to sixth at the European Championships, and finished outside the top ten at their first Olympics. They then had a very disappointing showing at the 2010 World Championships; in the free dance, the two collided during the twizzle sequence, which caused Cappellini to fall. They also had low levels on several elements, and dropped to 11th overall
Cappellini and Lanotte began the 2010-11 season at the Nebelhorn Trophy. They were first in the short dance and fourth in the free dance, finishing in second place overall. They then placed a disappointing fifth at the 2010 NHK Trophy, after which they decided to leave coach Muriel Zazoui and move back to Milan to train with Paola Mezzadri.They withdrew from 2010 Skate America in order to prepare a new free dance. Cappelini and Lanotte later missed Italian nationals and the European Championships because Lanotte had a knee injury. In 2011, they began splitting their time between Milan and Nikolai Morozov in Novogorsk, Russia. They returned to competition at the Mont Blanc Trophy, which they won. They finished 8th at the 2011 World Championships.
