Thank you Sylvia.Channel One Russia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzCzOpWDpSQ
New Year's day is Big in Russia. I expect many skaters will try to take at least a day off.I’ve thought Vladimir has looked particularly crushed in the photos I’ve seen.
It’s not really feasible to take vacation time right before an event, but maybe some time with family over New Years will help.
Medals are medals. It may not be the same to you, but to all these athletes, an Olympic medal is precious. People talk so cavalierly of medals that it's clear they haven't put in any time to train. Many great skaters have no medals. It's a shame about this couple because they are a cut above the rest. However I think the other couples have more energy and are hungrier. They are fortunate that they have a top notch team behind them at Sambo. They were given beautiful programs this year yet I feel they were overshadowed by the other pairs.I think that’s my fear too. They have the silver from the team event in 2018, but it’s not the same.
I disagree. They were not overshadowed by other pairs. With the exception of the most recent nationals, they placed first or second in every competition they entered. They have the best programs and packaging of all the pairs this year. The problem is with the lack of execution. Hopefully they can figure it out. The Russian nationals were disappointing. It doesn't mean they didn't Want to do well.Medals are medals. It may not be the same to you, but to all these athletes, an Olympic medal is precious.

I don't hate them at all, but the looks on their faces at Nationals in comparison to the younger pairs are quite telling. They have a look of resignation on their faces. Compared the energy of the top 2 pairs, and Pavilchenko /Khodykin, they just seem lost out there. Really they are similar to Kolyada. They have all talent and beauty in spades, but mentally they seem broken. Physically there might be something going on with Morozov, this is not the first time that a lift didn't work out in competition. I'm not a pairs expert, but Tarasova seems to hold her her body very firm in the air. Compared to Pavilchenko where her body seems to be limp like a sack of potatoes yet the Khodykin can still hold her up and do all that gymnastics with her.If they are overshadowed by other pairs, it seems you only believe what their haters on fsu say. They still have the judges' respect, and that of knowledgeable fans.
I had the exact same thought, T/M in pairs is what Kolyada is in men - potential and ability to be the absolute best in the world but with no ability to deliver when it matters. All three are huge talents but not great competitors (compare to their potential).I don't hate them at all, but the looks on their faces at Nationals in comparison to the younger pairs are quite telling.

I'm getting that sense too. Trankov was also very rude to Morozov after the SP and overall why they seem to be getting support, some of the responses they are getting from their coaching team are also off-putting to me.Just to add, I'm not sure how much warm and fuzzies they are going to receive from that coaching team. It seemed to clear to me that Eteri has invested quite a bit of energy in this pair. They all seem frustrated in kiss and cry. The positive thing is that Eteri doesn't have a stable of pairs teams to put pressure on this team so they may need to work with them on their mental game.
Gorgeous! It looked as if she was about to fly away! Loved it!The last move is beautiful

I love the ending. It completes the story. He is in love with the statue he created. She comes to life for sometime and they skate together. She turns into a statue in the end. He is sad. It couldn't be any better. JMO.Gorgeous! It looked as if she was about to fly away! Loved it!
I wish they would work a bit on the end though ... something's missing.
Oh, I love the concept. I just felt something missing in the choreography to make it a memorable moment. It felt a bit flat.I love the ending. It completes the story.

Different strokes for different folks.Oh, I love the concept. I just felt something missing in the choreography to make it a memorable moment. It felt a bit flat.
I just think a little acting on his part would make the ending more powerful. Maybe look at her longingly, tragically for a moment before his final, resigned movement of touching her leg and laying his head against her. A little more contrast between his humanness and her statue-ness. But you are right, the story is simple and perfect. It's a beautiful program.I love the ending. It completes the story.

Beautiful skate for them today. Loved the crowd reaction afterward. I think this was actually a perfect result for them at Europeans--they beat Boikova/Kozlovskii decisively and showed that they're quite close to Mishina/Galliamov. And there's still room for improvement. This should give them confidence and a good feeling going into Beijing! Also, hopefully this will be enough to win them a place in the team event.
I wouldn't underestimate B/K. They were right up there with M/G at nationals. They have high base marks.If Russia is choosing to split the team event I think they will go with both M&G and T&M. If they choose only 1 team it would obviously be M&G still. So I guess the question is if you think they are choosing to split or not. I do think T&M will be chosen over B&K if they use 2 teams though.
I would have loved them to win but I agree this is the perfect result. Big improvement from Nationals, they moved back ahead of B&K, and they proved without a doubt the judges are willing to have them beat M&G if they skate perfectly. M&G are setting themselves a tough standard by skating cleanly almost every outing, it doesn't leave much room for improvement. Then again they do seem to be doing a good job finding small improvements most outings anyway, so maybe I am wrong. T&M are setting up perfectly to peak for the Games, and if they do there is a good chance they could pull a big surprise, as I think most nearly everyone are expecting it to be either M&G or S&H winning, but it wouldn't surprise me if T&M finally hit their peak there and take it away from both. I see Sui & Han, M&G, and T&M the main 3 teams in contention for gold at the Games now with B&K and Peng & Jin shooting for a medal, but not in contention for the gold medal.
This is true B/K doubled teh salchow in SPI wouldn't underestimate B/K. They were right up there with M/G at nationals. They have high base marks.
I am afraid the gold and silver at the Olympics are already decided between S/H and M/G. I hope T/M can at least win the bronze.
