Abstract: The Crouzeix-Raviart triangular finite elements are $inf$-$sup$ stable for the Stokes equations for any mesh with at least one interior vertex. This result affirms a {em conjecture of Crouzeix-Falk} from 1989 for $p=3$. Our proof applies to {em any odd degree} $pge3$ and hence Crouzeix-Raviart triangular finite elements of degree $p$ in two dimensions and the piecewise polynomials of degree $p-1$ with vanishing integral form a stable Stokes pair {em for all positive integers} $p$.
