I guess people do not care about beautiful posture anymore because McNamara's is awful in that SD (not as bad as Anna Cappelini's but ...)

I agree that maybe Christina and Anthony wanted to look mature in SD, but it didn't actually worked. But I don't like in general when skaters try to look much older than they are, and chose music and costumes not for their age. FD is very good.thanks so much for posting!
I'm not sure I'm feeling the music for Anthony and Christina's short dance. I think they should change the music.
Their free dance music is beautiful, but besides that rotational lift in the beginning which was gorgeous, their choreography is really lacking. But this program has a lot of potential.

The coaches at Wheaton take them very young and bring them along. Some of their teams have been together for years. Igor on the other hand gets them at all stages in their career. For instance Christina came to him after 6 years in canada with another partner and Anthony had been with his partner for a few years. This is their 3rd season together and I think they look pretty good. Ellie and Alex are starting their 3rd season together. He came with one year experience at dance. Joti and Kavita were amazing in their first year together. And it was his first year ice dancing.I agree sometimes I can't help but think Igor is losing his creativity. The coaching team that coaches parson siblings and m/c seem to be doing a much better job than Igor's team. Or maybe Igor and marina were just lucky to have such amazing talent like Meryl charlie Tessa Scott. But I can tell between the teams of two coaching teams (team that coaches m/c and Parsons, Igor team) the differences in skating: the former more creative technically and artistically, as most of their up and coming pupils have smooth edges, transitions, etc, better than the the ladder. Does anyone agree Igor team getting out coached?

yes, you make a great point. I noticed the coaches at wheaton have very young pupils. You know, in my opinion, I truly believe Parsons and M/C are ready for seniors. Why are they still in juniors? And Igor's team of Alex and Ellie are ready for seniors too, I don't know why they remain as juniors.
I'm really looking forward to Anthony and Christina's progress. I just rewatched their FD and enjoyed it even more. But I think there is still a lot they can improve on their FD:_
I agree, all short dances made by Igor (at this event) look a bit old-fashioned, common, not really interesting. We've already seen it so many times! Lifts that someone already used etc, quite the same twizzles. Maybe, he gave all his attention and creativity to senior teams? But in my opinion it's impossible to make interesting, new stuff for all your skaters, when you have so many skaters in your group. it's like wholesale products, can't be compared with exclusive.I agree sometimes I can't help but think Igor is losing his creativity.

I was actually impressed with what I saw from team Igor looking at both SD and FD for the teams and the places they are in their careers. He must be doing something right because almost all his teams took home medals. I especially liked the work he did for Yura Min and partner for the FD. So I'll have to respectfully disagree with the negative sentiments expressed here.
I think P&B are competing as seniors this year. M&C have been juniors for a loooong time.
