    Just be thankful she is not with Robin Wagner. I would like to see her improve technically.

    Yes, and the rumours were that she moved to Hackensack to be coached by him because they were, um, "working" together in their personal lives.

    Don't those rumours come standard with every blonde female skater he's connected to professionally?

    I think it's a good move for Elene.

    She's immensely talented but she never seems to really get a grip on her skating. She's got everything she needs: speed, big jumps, good spins, appeal...now she just needs someone to help shape all of that into an (even more) eye-catching package. I truly hope someone suggests that she dyes her hair back to brown. That blonde hair just made her look a tad slutty IMO...HOT, but slutty, which doesn't work well in skating.

    I always enjoy watching Elene skate b/c she is very entertaining to watch. Hopefully Brian will help her move her talent to that next level. The fact that she's been with Robin Wagner this long is still a mystery to me...

    worried

    I hope that the crowded conditions that drove a certain other top male skater away dont negatively affect her. I truly hope that she gets her ducks in a row because since her performance at the olympics in 2006, she has just not been on top of her game. It sucks because i really like her.

    2010 european bronze medalist, I guess she did better taking a medal there than at the Torino Olympics

    I would like to see her dye the hair to earlier colour, blond does not look good on her, IMO. If she does not succeed with Orser, maybe it´s time to retire? Does she come from a wealthy family, because I don´t think that her results pay for coaches, etc.?

    Are there no other women in her country who skate and compete against her to represent
    that country? You would think after 5 years on the scene she would have some competition. She showed such promise at her first Olympics, that I, like others, have been disappointed she hasn't done better. I hope with Brian she will make better musical choices and costume (and hair lol) decisions. IMO she has been rather on the "tacky" side for too long a time.

    Um, she has grown quite a bit since her first Olympics. I'm not talking height or width. She is the most well endowed lady out there, and I think she has been exceeding expectations with her jumps. Maybe Orser can share with her secrets he learned from Katarina.

    Yes, IronLady, I keep expecting centrifugal force to result in odd things when she jumps and spins. lol
