Not a chance ......... Why? ..... answer in your own comment.......

Thank you! Yes that presumed retirement does improve things for G/P. Will miss weapo though.

Been off (fsu) ice so to speak. What is happening?

Very Impressive! Congratulations to them.

Nikolai likes to paint a picture that is not quite accurate. Many men have big egos suffice it to say. He had already been training in Montreal with another partner that chose to quit skating with him. I heard it was Marie-France that suggested Nikolai and Vanessa still wanting to skate agreed...

Well, that grass wasn't quite so green!

They were good!

Yup, so right.

She may have been taking acting classes but she was also doing tryouts with some US skaters AND had been in touch with Paul some time before.

True enough! But why? From what I have heard mentioned, Lane and Poirier Senior had a lot to do with causing/encouraging the problem as opposed to trying to help them work things out, and Gilles was already in the background stirring the pot.

And I would say that Vanessa was nowhere near as bad as some claimed. Piper is much older than when Vanessa and Paul skated together. The posture and small presentation for V/P was far overblown, they were between 17 and 20 when they skated all their international programs together and still...

Makes me sad too, I think they would have continued developing and putting out some great programs. The BackStabbing that I heard about was a shocker :(:yikes:

. I forgot how fast and smooth they were and intricate!

And Paul & Vanessa were still very young at 19 & 20. Paul & Piper are soon to be 27 and have had the benefit of adult maturity and development to call on and they are still only barely close to what Paul & Vanessa achieved. I had heard Vanessa & Keiffer in the very short time they skated...
