Oh, I do hope that Shin/Naggy do not read these or any other "grudging" comments about them. If they do... it is not going to help them to skate better, quite opposite. Much more for Audrey who, imho, has a personality type/psychological make up to blame and reproach herself for everything (...

Imho, in my observation, the only thing Audrey is lucking is her self- confidence. Her lack of self confidence actually has developed to the level of performance anxiety, and it is not so easy to get rid of performance anxiety unless a good support system. Imho, Shin/Nagy have all potential to...

unfortunately, I absolutely agree

I am surprised and impressed 😯; Sara is a good teacher/coach! hits the nail

Voted for the ones for whom I really wish to medal! not for the ones who most certainly might medal.

I am confused...is Alysa skating both programs from the last season?? Has she went back to the both programs from the last year? if so, I guess it might be related to her boot issue:unsure:

Lia certainly has a star quality, she IS a star. Trennt... imho, he has no ability, (skills? understanding? my English is too poor to find a right word)to showcase her, quite opposite- he subdues her. imho opinion Lia is like... in the box and "cannot fly", as there is no room for her to do so...

INHO it is already too late, at least for Trennt. They needed to do this a long time ago. Perhaps they would have done this IF they would have felt that they need to. I am in impression that they, especially Trennt, believes that their coaching is great even though the results speaks other story.

I believe in Shin/Nagy.

Thank you. Glad to hear that everything is alright with her! The info she posted here on the forum, the spirit in which she posted was unvaluable- no sides, just factual, neutral info; info for info sake. It was so helpful especially for those (=me) who have no time or energy to dig through all...

Maddie seems to me very tense ( inwardly) and, because of that, she does not allow herself truly to feel the beauty, depth (and music) of each movement. IMHO this music is not the best choice for her to skate. And kudos to all the improvements in her skating. I do not know where to put this- I...

It was your objective observation of one particular show and you shared it - thank you. Years ago, providing music therapy for the terminally ill, I spontaneously decided to show to the one of the ailing one LP of Satoko skating.... The reaction was unbelievable- the patient was in tears; tears...

...hmm... as far as I remember interview with Tamara Moskvina she said that it is not enough for a pair girl to have good or excellent technical skills and talent, that it is also utmost necessary to interact with a partner, or, like we do say "to be as one" and Moskvina very...

Many blessings to Aliona on her way to motherhood! On personal note, I do feel sad that her brilliant talent as a single skater was so short. I always wonder why all these wealthy Russian emigrants never considered to help her when help was needed to get her out of Russia and Tutberidze camp...

It is enough to look on Melania's face to see that she herself is of Russian blood. There is that distinctive Slavonic features in her look and not only in the look, not Finnish at all. Her mother is Russian/Ukrainian. To find a Russian coach or partner does not mean an immediate success in pair...
