Another week's worth of new programs and I'm still :scream: :oops: on this 90s RD. It's gonna be a long season with this segment ....

Yes, it was created by the Protopopovs, and has been done occasionally over the years, but was never commonly seen. It's probably fair to say that Deanna/Max have played a role in increasing its exposure and prevalence.

Good article but I think the suggestion that other pairs "copied" the forward outside death spiral from Deanna/Max is a bit misleading. Other pairs actually introduced this element somewhat concurrently with Deanna/Max; Pavliuchenko/Khodykin did it in 2019, Sui/Han did it at the 2022 Olympics...

Thanks @cholla. I have updated. Are they working with someone else in France now? Or are they full-time at I.AM? ETA: Their ISU bio lists only the I.AM coaches, but Bordeaux is still listed as a training location.

Yes, but the two vocalists are both country singers.

I'm at a loss as to why anyone thinks a country rendition of this song is going to play well at an Olympics in Italy, but what do I know. :scream:

Maybe the top teams can do something more with 90s RDs ... I hope?? Because what we are seeing so far is not good. :scream:

Just curious why it is "Daiwei" instead of Daiwei?

Apparently Isabella Flores has teamed up with Linus Colmor Jepsen, and they will compete for France (see LPIDI entry link below): https://x.com/SylviaUnseen/status/1947677871679672829/photo/3
