Interesting Fact: If Lawrence finds a lucky penny before a competition, she carries it around in her left shoe for three days, and then tosses it out to share the luck with the next person to find it.

Chances: The pair of Swiegers and Lawrence has limited experience on the world stage, having yet to compete in a World Championship. They consistently finish behind the pairings of Radford-Duhamel and Moscovitch-Moore-Towers and are not expected to finish on the podium in 2014.
