Where has Vanessa been living since her stint on Battle of the Blades?
this had absolutely zero to do with Skate Canada putting together a team or trying to add a team to get a medal in the Team Event.Does Skate Canada think they're in that much trouble for the Olympic Team Event bronze?
Before this, I was always thinking MT/M were going to be doing both segments as it was. This might change things a little.
I don't think Skate Canada put them together, but if Canadian Nationals gets political, and J/R get pushed over their pay grade, then they obviously have an agenda.this had absolutely zero to do with Skate Canada putting together a team or trying to add a team to get a medal in the Team Event.
Nothing in Meagan's post is not adult. It's honest, it's acknowledging hurt and what to her feels like betrayal.I remember it well, and obviously the gracious post did not come in 2014 But Robin didn't go all over what happened, and he got on with his life like an adult.
The fact that he didn’t end up with Meagan suggests he didn’t want to go there for a comeback for whatever reasons he has. Had he asked her and she passed on the opportunity she wouldn’t have been so bitter.If I was presented with the choice of skating with Meagan Duhamel and Vanessa James, it wouldn’t take me very long to decide who to make a comeback with.
Unless you are Meagan, there is no way of knowing whether this would have happened.Had he asked her and she passed on the opportunity she wouldn’t have been so bitter.
Lubov and anyone!Dream Team......Lubov and Yvan Desjardins
About a year and a half ago.Didn't Meagan just have a baby?
Meagan said she never said she didn’t want to compete again and Eric never asked her to compete again on FB in reply to a post on TSL.Unless you are Meagan, there is no way of knowing whether this would have happened.
She had a baby, but it's been a while. She won Battle of the Blades with a hockey player and they even included a throw 3S that was effortless. I don't know if she would've wanted to come back to competition or not, but from everything I saw around 2018, I thought Radford was the one who was simply just done for a multitude of reasons-- first and foremost his body and his age. There was a post upthread about the spotlight and maybe Eric isn't getting the work that he expected. A lot of skaters go through this off-period lately where they don't have opportunities lined up and they really don't know what they want to do. Match that with uncertainty in touring with CV still looming..Didn't Meagan just have a baby?
Japan has very good pairs , US has average but might even surpass Canada
Is the goal 2022 team medal or 2024 in home ice ?
The only succesful above older skater with multiple partner has been Savhcenko and she was gritty and was a stable jumper
Plus, she didn't have to lift anyone.
well, in many ways I'm still stuck in March 2020, so....About a year and a half ago.
What the heck is she upset about?Do we know that this is directed to skating or to perhaps something else going on in her life?
We don't know that she isn't.
Dust settle, speculation chill. And it doesn't have anything to do with us anyway. I'm sure that behind the scenes there is more going on than we know about.
While I value Duhamel’s professional opinion on pairs skating, there’s enough of the bully about her public persona that I wouldn’t feel comfortable basing my assessment of anyone’s character and choices on hers.There’s also Duhamel’s Instagram comments which would lend credence to this whole idea of a Radford/James pairing. I thought it was strange a couple of days ago when she made it clear she would not be doing shows with Radford in the future, but said she was still looking to skate in shows herself. And then a quote posted today that said “There’s something wrong with your character if opportunity controls your loyalty”
My heart goes out to you. At some point life starts bombarding us with challenges, one after one after one... All you want to do is to scream "Are you freaking done yet???" No answer will come but more obstacles. You never know how strong you are until you have no other choice but to be strong. Love you Meg
Meagan. please keep your beautiful daughter's face OFF social media.
I suspect they don’t have long term plans but are rather hoping to click quickly and find enough magic to finish top 2 at Nationals and get the nod for the 2022 Olympics based on what they perceive is a weak (not my opinion) senior Canadian field.Why would Radford or James try to make their comeback the year of the Olympics that seems rather foolhardy to me. They needed to come back no later then this season if they were serious. I can't see them going until 2026 they are both in their early to mid 30's.
