Not a perfect skate from Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov - but they are the perfectly matched pair. And their qualities are just amazing, as it is their potential. Hopefully, they'll reach their maximum - because they have what it takes to stand atop of the podiums.

I sometimes feel like Rose Nylund talking about St. Olaf when I compare skating to showing cows.
I’m 2011, at the beginning of the summer, we thought we’d put together the best show string we ever had. We were so excited and hopeful. It was a long, hot summer though and by the time the state fair rolled around in August.... we ended up leaving half of what we’d planned to take at home and what we took didn’t fare well. It was almost comical. On the way home, Dad was laughing and said “maybe next year.”
The next year... we only took 2 cows just to go and hang out with friends. The next year, we couldn’t go at all because we didn’t have any help at home. The year after that, we went but another just more going to see people year. Then, in 2015, when showing cows didn’t even seem to matter because of my grandmother being so ill and only still going because my uncle told my dad it’s what my grandmother would want.... we had the year at the fair we thought we would in 2011.
Sometimes, things come when you’re not planning it on a different day in a different year.
