The World Team Championships work
differently than the Olympics, World Cup or World Championships. To understand how Jonathan helped take Team Canada
to a first place finish, click on the article link below, written by Torrie Hansen of WorldShortTrack.com.
Really quite interesting.

| PRICELESS! Near the podium, 2 little girls (left) flirt with Jo, who's behind a yawning Eric. |

|
| Jo's eyes are closed, & the girl on the far left here looks ready to beat somebody up!! Hmmm.... |

| Eric shakes the presenter's hand as Jo looks on, behind J.F.'s & Mathieu's (in black hat) shoulders. |

| Here, it looks like Jonathan is tickling the back of the official's head, making him laugh. |
| Jean Marini |
|
|
| Is he about to take his rose or catch something from the crowd, here? Questions, questions. |

| L-R: Turcotte, Monette, Scholten, Bédard & Guilmette - Best Team in the World, 2003!!! |
Jonathan skated the 500m and
3000m distances for Team Canada, brought in 1st and 2nd place finishes respectively, and showed that he's great at both sprints
and endurance racing. This was a good set of races for Jonathan, and a wonderful outcome for Team Canada,
crowned #1 team in the world, 2003.
