Castelli, Shnapir cast spell with "Black Magic Woman"

U.S. champions Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, who train in Bobby Martin's group at the Skating Club of Boston, spent a week in Montreal working mainly with Julie Marcotte, Bruno's sister.

Julie choreographed both of their programs this season, including their short to Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and "Smooth." In Boisbriand, they opened with good steps into a solid Level 2 triple twist. Both skaters hit triple Salchows, although Shnapir over-rotated a bit on the landing.

Their other five elements, including a big throw triple Salchow, were clean, but they gained just Level 1 on their step sequence. Still, they earned 60.74 points.

"We are happy with what we put out today, but we know there are plenty of things we can improve," Castelli said. "It is still a new program."

The team plans to unveil its free skate, set to a medley of James Bond soundtracks, at the Cranberry Open this weekend. There, they may include a throw quad Salchow, a move they practice daily.

"We did not compete the long program in Boisbriand because we will do some minor work on it with Julie Marcotte in the next few days," Shnapir said.

Their first international event is the U.S. International Classic, followed by Skate America, the NHK Trophy and, of course, the 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Boston.

"We hope for a peak performance at U.S. nationals in our hometown," Shnapir said. "Our ultimate goal for this season, certainly, is the Olympics."
