& Simon Shnapir!

And boy do we need good senior pairs since I dont know who will be left after these Olympics.

I mean maybe they just made Natalia the main coach?

To me, Flores and Wang looked like it could have been a goodbye skate. I also heard rumors that they left Meekins and that's why he wasn't there in Kiss and Cry.

Heard from an insider that they didnt get the citizenship for Alisa.

Its not even about being them being disappointed- which I'm sure they are as it would be pretty numb to win and not be included and have fun with the fans and their teammates all because of a passport. It's about respect, as well as the finale of the competiton, which they were a big part of.

That would be really crappy. Winning Nationals and not even being recognized for it immediately after.

You're missing his brief stunt with Tarah Kayne as well

From what I know he still lives with the Flores family in Colorado.

I wonder if they WD themselves?

As soon as S/N were announced I thought it was a placeholder and knew they were gonna wait for John Nicks to finish to finalize. Isn't Wednesday the deadline? Scores are boosted in some places because Khobta/Herrera in Jr getting 54 points without any triple elements and Level 2 Lift is very...

That's exactly the problem with figure skating though. And I mean I suppose components are OK, but the the GOE on elements were also high. That twist, throws, spin were not in +2, +3 territory. Then we go out on international ice and wonder why we aren't doing well in scores.

Yeah on the video the salchow looked better but maybe I'm thinking of the long program one more. I think he looks better than with Martins (faster mostly) but I still the components were way too high. Looking at the protocol even stuff like the throw loop which had a weird check out got +2 and I...

I thought they were very generous with the call being clean. But I was talking about the pumped up components.

Watched Liu/Bedard and I truly dont understand the scoring? Was very, very overscored in my opinion
