Trankov said when he commented on Russian Eurosport 2 yesterday that they really have problems with skating together. They skate on parallel lines almost all the time, or they just doing simple dance holds. He thinks it's easier in transitions and overall, and there's even a joke about them around professional skaters that they're two solo skaters who skate as pair.
As a skating fan I appreciate the Russian pair skaters and their rich history Max needs to be more professional in his commentary. Dissing the competition comes across as childish andsour grapes.Arrogance is not flattering it is a sign of weakness.
Wow, Trankov is the one to talk about transitions?! The irony.

He's not dissing anyone, he's just pointing out their flaws. Just like S/K flaws. He's commentator, it's his job.
Oh, Apple, I missed you here. I bet you enjoyed S/K again They were awesome, weren't they?
Well, maybe you're right. But he was really polite, you know. He praised them too. Nothing over-the-top 'honest'There are ways to say things. Come one, Max is a bit of "big mouth". Always has been. Just like Wagner.

I see them exactly as two solo skaters who skate as pair, a part from ugly lines from her. I see Eric as dull in his interpretation too. Besides, we've read or heard worse criticism about other skaters.
So a hateful statement like this is allowed. Really?
There is a difference between disliking a style of skating and hateful statements. To express the opinion that a particular skater has ugly lines is not hatred.
Here comes the space football players.
Well, I actually think Fedor would make a good football player. He has good size for that. A couple more of inches of height will be okay though
I actually can imagine him in football gear :think:

Because I didn't sing praise for certain skater, I should be bullied here by Snow63 and Alba. Why is that allowed?
S/K's sp is so empty. Do they even have any transitions? Basically they are doing elements after elements with nothing matching the music. And the judges gave them 34+ for PCS. Lol.
Not the "in-between" argument again please. I think both V/T and S/K have enough going on "in-between". Obviously nobody can top the "in-betweens" that Moskvina puts for her teams. And D/R should be applauded for their efforts in adding transitions. However that should not be at the expense of the most important things for pairs skating. There is a reason it's PAIRS not "two people on the ice" discipline.
