'''Mark Janoschak''' (born December 2, 1968 in [[Mississauga]], [[Ontario]]) <ref name=Birthplacedate>[http://72.232.38.190/EN/athletes/query/details2.php?id=36253 Athlete Profile at olympic.ca], accessed June 22, 2007.</ref> is a [[Canadian]] [[ice dancer]]. Competing with partner, [[Jacqueline Petr]], the two captured the gold in 1992 at the Canadian Figure Skating Championships in [[ice dancing]]. Janoschak and Petr are known for their daring originality.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}


==Early life==
Janoschak grew up skating in [[Brampton, Ontario|Brampton]], [[Ontario]] <ref name=Birthplacedate>[http://72.232.38.190/EN/athletes/query/details2.php?id=36253 Athlete Profile at olympic.ca], accessed June 22, 2007.</ref>, while partner, Jacqueline Petr, grew up skating in [[Winnipeg]], [[Manitoba]]. Mark began skating singles until he developed an eagerness to learn the "[[Kilian]]" dance after being intrigued by local ice dancers.

==Competitive career==
Only after a few months of practicing together, Mark and Jacqueline placed 7th at the [[World Junior Figure Skating Championships]] in 1987. Two years later, with more experience, the two hit the senior scene, placing 6th at the [[Canadian Figure Skating Championships]] skating to [[Yanni]]. At their next nationals in 1990, the two moved up 3 places to capture the bronze skating to music from ''[[The Last Emperor]]''. The following year, Mark and Jacqueline stirred up a controversy{{Fact|date=June 2007}} at Nationals with their odd costumes and program to music from ''[[Pee-wee's Big Adventure]]'', which was choreographed by [[Toller Cranston]]. Mark and Jacqueline captured the silver and qualified for Worlds where they placed 10th <ref name=WorldResults>[http://www.eskatefans.com/skatabase/worlddance1990.html WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS 1990-1999 at eskatefans.com], accessed June 22, 2007.</ref>. In 1992, Petr and Janoschak captured a gold medal at the national championships, skating gracefully to the program ''[[Cinderella (Prokofiev)|Cinderella]]'' by [[Prokofiev]], making it to Worlds once again. However, at Worlds, they slipped 2 places from the previous year, ending up in 12th <ref name=WorldResults>[http://www.eskatefans.com/skatabase/worlddance1990.html WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS 1990-1999 at eskatefans.com], accessed June 22, 2007.</ref>. However, the team still qualified for the [[Olympics]].
Unfortunately, the couple had an accident in practice when they collided with another ice dance team. The result was a deep slice in Petr's calf. Petr and Janoschak managed to pull it together to skate at the Olympics in 1992. The couple placed a solid 12th.
The following year, skating to King of Hearts, Queen of Spades, the team lost their title to a rising young team, [[Shae-Lynn Bourne]] and [[Victor Kraatz]] (who would lead the world in ice dancing until 2003).

==Currently==
Afterwards, Mark and Jacqueline decided to stop competing to skate in shows. Sometime during this, Petr and Janoschak were married and divorced.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} Janoschak remarried and moved to the [[Houston]], [[Texas|TX]] area with new wife, Tammy. The two are currently living happily with their two kids - Chryssy and Zayne. Both Mark and Tammy currently coach singles and ice dancing.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}

As for Petr, she remarried U.S. pair skater [[Joseph Mero]], with whom she began a coaching career in [[Michigan]]. However, Mero was banned from coaching by the [[United States Figure Skating Association]] (USFSA), allegedly for having an affair with one of his students, and she and Mero subsequently divorced.

==Legacy==
Petr and Janoschak will always be remembered for their creativity and uniqueness in ice dancing{{Fact|date=June 2007}} and their title as two-time Canadian ice dance champions. They have left their mark of innovation on the sport.


They retired from competitive skating and skated professionally in shows.
