Hope it does not happen.Davis/Smolkin just scored 81.30 at the Warsaw Cup. Looks like Eteri won't be satisfied with just an Olympic berth for her daughter, she wants an Olympic medal.

At this point of the tragedy I am even preferring Morozov's daughter and partner to Davis/Smolkin. "Scheherazade" has got to beat ****ing "Moulin Rouge". Period.It would not surprise me a bit if Davis/Smolkin take the third Russian Olympic ice dance berth (along with Sin/Kats and Step/Bukin). A very very strong message is being sent with these Warsaw Cup scores. And the most immediate recipients of this message would be Russia's other Senior ice dancers who had not necessarily planned to retire after this season. I can think of a number of teams for which time has basically run out on ever progressing further in their Russian ice dance careers. Put another way, it won't be a fair fight.

And this is not easy for me to say since I have been an avid hater of "Moulin Rouge" for the last...let's say couple of years.
I liked her costume and their music. And they had some nice ideas in their FD.I thought I preferred Morozova/Partner too, until I saw them in person at Skate America. They are incredibly slow, like memories of Grushina/Goncharov slow. It was disappointing to watch but helped me understand the PCS scores they get internationally.
Sorry, but Anabelle and her pitiful partner are slow and they look like pairs skaters with no jumps.At this point of the tragedy I am even preferring Morozov's daughter and partner to Davis/Smolkin. "Scheherazade" has got to beat ****ing "Moulin Rouge". Period.

You said you will mention only those with acceptable height difference and then you mention Mukhortova/Evgenyev? I don’t think this couple actually matches to your demands on height difference.A pleothora of Juniors with difficult jumps and elements, I will only list some junior pairs with an acceptable height difference
Mukhortova / Evgenyev
Khabibullina / Knyazhuk
Akhanteva / Kolsekov
Geinish / Mironov
Kostyuk / Chigiriev
Panfilova / Rylov hope they can come back next season, They have the best elements, if they can just jump triples a toe and salchow will be enough for them to be competitive, the jumps are lacking but they still are that good.
I do prefer Davis/Smolkin’s skating to Morozov/Bagin. Morozov’s daughter just put me to sleep. There is no expression, nothing to stand out.At this point of the tragedy I am even preferring Morozov's daughter and partner to Davis/Smolkin. "Scheherazade" has got to beat ****ing "Moulin Rouge".

Evgenyev wont have to worry of Mukhortova ever growing much because her built already shows that she wont grow anymore taller.You said you will mention only those with acceptable height difference and then you mention Mukhortova/Evgenyev?

Akhanteva/Kolesov will not stay together for that long. They have been together the longest from all those junior pairs, they spent 6years in juniors doing JGP and yet they didn’t manage to push their way to the top in Russian juniors. They placed as the lowest ranking Russian junior pair at this years JGP events. They are quite inconsistent and that will hinder them even more in seniors. They already did not manage to qualify for senior nationals this year. It is harsh to say this, but I don’t think this pair has a long term future.
Conspiracy or not, Davis/Smolkin’s meteoric rise still remains suspicious for the level of skating shown on the ice. Their lastest score implies they could be contender for a bronze medal. That would be a shame for the integrity of the sport.I do prefer Davis/Smolkin’s skating to Morozov/Bagin. Morozov’s daughter just put me to sleep. There is no expression, nothing to stand out.
Not a World medal yet, maybe by Euros who could blame them G/F and S/B are flopping these season getting 79 SD and barely getting 120 in FDConspiracy or not, Davis/Smolkin’s meteoric rise still remains suspicious for the level of skating shown on the ice.

Her father is an American businessman IIRC.Question - She has an Anglo surname. Was Eteri married to a Brit / American / Canadian?
The question you should have been asking yourself before most of your posts.She has Davis as last name like Meryl Davis, does it matter though
I even saw on twitter a conspiracyBut Diana's patronymic is "Sergeevna" IIRC.
There have been quite a few rumors about who her father is and there are different stories out there.
"Tiffany is back on the ice, we are training with her. Tiffany is generally a unique athlete and personality who always manages to do the impossible. This is not the first time she does what seems impossible. We started (training) with 15 minutes, and now it is We train in a good volume. We understand that there is a month before the Russian Championship. We look positively and believe that we will have time to prepare, and quite adequately," Guerreiro told reporters.
"This is such an Olympic story, a story of overcoming, an inspiring story, as it was, for example, with (gymnast Arthur) Dalaloyan in Tokyo. God grant that Tiffany succeeds, we succeed," he added.
Add Muramoto/Takahashi who went from 70.74 I'm the RD at NHK to 75.99 in the RD at Warsaw.Re Davis/Smolkin
yes, their Warsaw Cup score was out of control. However, the scoring at that event was over-generous for many many teams, not just them.
For instance
Davis/Smolkin went from 184.62 at Cup of Austria (previous week) to 199.90 at Warsaw Cup
Mollly Lanaghan/Dmitre Razgulajevs (Canada) went from 154.03 in Austria to 170.19 in Warsaw
Aleksandra SAMERSOVA / Kevin OJALA (Estonia) went from 124.40 in Austria to 138.80 (with a fall on the twizzles) in Warsaw
They want to be known of the innovative pairs skatersThey need to take a few acrobatic transitions out, not add more. I love the transitions but they need to be clean and fast. Maybe they have improved on that since we last saw them but then adding more does not make sense.
“The IOC has confirmed that our athletes will not be put in quarantine because we are not allowed to vaccinate minors,” RIA news agency quoted Stanislav Pozdnyakov, president of the Russian Olympic Committee, as saying. “We have seven such athletes at this point: three figure skaters and four freestyle skiers.”
How odd that they have already determined three figure skaters will be minors, that does not bode well for Liza. Maybe they just meant, potentially three…I posted this in the WorldWide Health forum as well...
Unvaccinated Russian minors won't have to quarantine for Beijing
Apologies if it was already posted.
