I feel like Latin and hip hop have been the only two rhythms selected for the past 84 years, so maybe it’s more a case of these teams not having experienced skating any other rhythms besides these two.Interesting to see that most of the american born ice dancers picked hip hop.
Quickstep/Finnstep in 2020 and 2021. And tango in 2019. Hip hop and Latin have been the most recent ones, so it's not surprising teams would choose what they remember best. And some of the teams haven't been together for more than a season or two.I feel like Latin and hip hop have been the only two rhythms selected for the past 84 years, so maybe it’s more a case of these teams not having experienced skating any other rhythms besides these two.
Marina is also still the coach for Gamez/Korovin in pairs (yes, it makes no sense, I know, lol).
They're definitely still together and training as far as I've seen on both of their IGs.Oh they are still together?I thought they broke up according to this IG post:
Alexander Korovin on Instagram: "Good luck in future guys!!! don’t believe anyone and enjoy your life 😀☝️"

I’d love to see Christin and Anthony tackle a tango again - glad he agrees! I think theirs was quite impressive given they were 17/18 so I’d like to see what they can bring now they’re older and more experienced (and in Christina’s case - so much improved)Also in Marina's group: Zoe Larson/Andrii Kapran, ice dancers who represent Ukraine.

Drawing from ballroom dancing, ice dance is competed in pairs and incorporates social dances. Teams complete difficult dance patterns, step sequences and maneuversusfigureskatingfanzone.com
I have never a post harder than I am currently this postFWIW: Katarina Wolfkostin has posted an Instastory showing video of her off ice with Dimitry Tsarevski.
He is tagged, as is their location of Ann Arbor.
(He has a new Instagram account of May 2023.)
ETA:I hope it means (even if nothing else) that he is doing well!
Mystery Guy is back! We were all so worried…It's really good to see him back and apparently doing well.
SO talented, that guy…I would even be willing to watch him skate to Michael JacksonIt's really good to see him back and apparently doing well.
Are they skating together?FWIW: Katarina Wolfkostin has posted an Instastory showing video of her off ice with Dimitry Tsarevski.

They are still junior eligible right?
Even if they were, sounds like they've made the decision to skate senior.I think so.
Seriously, now who ended the Wolfkostin/Chen partnership? And if he did, who is he with?I love off-season chaos
I just choked on a Cheerio. WTF.I have never a post harder than I am currently this post
Pretty sure, based on the IG posts at the time, that Chen was the one who ended it. But, who knows? It might have been a situation of just ripping a band-aid off a wound that just wasn't healing.Seriously, now who ended the Wolfkostin/Chen partnership? And if he did, who is he with?
why? it’s easy enough to say and the only thing I can think of that sounds similar is Midas. there’s a joke in there someone about turning things to gold if they get a team to win a gold medal.MIDA is a terrible acronym.
