Is it too early to start a fan thread for this young team?
I didn't see their skating live, but the video of their LP at Skate Canada gave me hope that may be pairs skating that I fell in love with is not yet dead. I heard that they had been inconsistent up to that point. Their mistake on the sbs jumps in the SP probably cost them a medal at SC. I hope they continue to improve and most important, develop consistency.
They have Big elements, which is important to get to the top. Great height/ distance in the 3twist/the throws. They have wonderful postures, lines, and for a young team their unison is quite good. Their choice of music was traditional - Dark Eyes for SP, and The Nutcracker for the LP, which they delivered very well. I loved Dmitri's reaction when they finished. She really looked like Sugarplum Fairy in that outfit.
They are just 16 and 18, but they have a great coach- Tamara Moskvina- and I hope to see them grow and get to the top.
