The costuming/hair is definitely like Kevin.Is it just me, or are Aleksa's long program and costume very reminiscent of Kevin Reynolds? The McLeod effect is more noticeable here than in his short, IMHO.

Aleksa's actual performances don't much remind me of Kevin, because he's much more musical than Kevin ever was (especially early on), but you can definitely see the similarities from their shared coach.

B&B were def. robbed here. Somewhere Didier is slugging his usual (champagne & vodka), while recounting his fond memories from Salt Lake. :sarcasm:
O4g is not directly comparing the french and bb. He is demonstrating how the russian block works with the french to make sure other teams pay for their mistakes while others aka kv do not.

The tech specs were from GBR and CAN. You can bet there was disagreement between them on this issue, so GUESS WHO gets to resolve it...
The tech team could have given K/V an additional deduction because it took them too long to recover from the fall. If they had, B/B would have ended up 3rd. I'd think the Canadian asst tech spec would have been in favor of that, and the British tech spec may have disagreed. The Russian TC would have resolved that issue in favor of K/V---i.e. no additional deduction.
If the deduction had been taken, it wouldn't have mattered much how the judges marked the PCS.
Aissa visibly made an error toward the end of the RD pattern — people in the competition thread were initially confused about it being called as Level 4; it being revised down isn’t some conspiracy. Teams lose (or gain) levels on review as a matter of course.also in the RD that came HIGHER in the scoring box for BB, and then, after review were all taken down one level... from memory, BB had 7/8 keypoints, they lost one on the official scoring sheet, then, they had a higher twizzle level for Aissa, which was lowered once more , I think that one is fine to be lowered though and there was the step sequence which originally came in at level 3 and ended up at level 2.... so the RD, even with the mistake was supposed to score a couple points higher but 'someone intervened" ....

I also got Kevin vibes when I first saw Aleksa, but I think it may have been the hair style or the body type more than anything skating related.
I'm more concerned about the female skaters under McLeod than the men. Don't get me wrong, there were many moments where I hoped Reynolds would change coaches and was happy when Nam moved to the Cricket. And Aleksa may well benefit from a change in coach at some point in the future. But at the moment, things seem to be working and progressing. If Aleksa does indeed have a strong mental game, he could do well with McLeod (think Sandhu without the inconsistency).
