My prediction for the top 4 of the pairs was almost correct, except that the winner was M/G, not B/K! I know they will be a dark horse in this competition because of their technical advantages, and moreover, the starting order of the FS really helped them, compared to B/K.
Honestly I love B/K more than any other pairs, but Boikova's sharp words for a coaching legend in the K & C after the skate were really shocking and unacceptable to me! When asked why she would accept M/G as B/K's competitors, Moskvina responded that she was the boss of this school... Such a fragile and small old lady with such strong will and principles, you have to respect her!
I think the one thing that essentially all skating fans can agree with is that Moskvina is amazing! I have listened to some interviews she gave recently and I think in a sport with a lot of less than admirable coaches she stands out as special and distinct. Committed, humble, and driven by a love for excellence not personal glory.
About Boikova's reaction, it wasn't good but she is very young and naturally competitive. It was said in the heat of the moment.
