I agree with you about Jenny Meno. I once got a chance to ask Mr. Nicks about death spirals. I wondered if Jenny had some fabulous natural talent. Mr. Nicks said that gorgeous entrance wasn't that hard to teach. You just had to want to do it right.
Max is such an emo whiner, there's always a reason why they can't be at their best, the world is aligned against them (or just him, when he was with Mukhortova). Dude, you are the Russian number ones, showered with PCS and GOEs no matters what you do. If you can't admit it, at least don't complain about how hard everything is for you.Tanya/Max had a better LP in Nebelhorn but hopefully they will be in their A game in Cup of Russia, I read an interview that Maxim said going to Skate America will not be easy because they wanted a later Grand Prix event to prepare/polish their programs and because of the time difference

I really enjoyed V/T FS, a lot better than their SP! But the dresses are just :no:
One smiley to describe my feelings about P/T: !
Happy for D/C, too: I hope they'll make it to the final, this year, they truly deserve it!
Yes, this is what I like about them: they are solid, and this is a quality that you rarely find in Pair Skating at the moment: all the Pairs usually make many mistakes, even it they don't fall, when they are often almost clean!Yeah DC have been rock solid with their elements - and consistency is quite important when you have so many skaters flopping.
Indeed. hopefully they will continue to skate well, with a corresponding rise in their PCS.James/Cipre: Underscored. They were quick, with actual choreography. No way they were 4.5 points behind D/C PCS wise.
Actually, the argument is usually that S/S (who calls them S Squared anyway?) were skating programs considerably more difficult and innovative than everyone else. V/T may be doing difficult elements, but you can tell Morozov is choreographing for them. Can't compare a Steuer program with a Morozov program.I don't have a problem with V and T's win if you consider how gifted Ssquared from Germany has been in past years. they'd make mistakes and still beat teams and the argument but the quality blah blah blah so I have no problem That being said V and T have to up the ante. including technically not just chemistry wise. I did like P and T a lot though i am a little tired of their same look so to speak; I would love to see something different from them but it is sort of the same stuff to different music with a similar overtone and for that matter undertone.
